About
I moved to Colorado Springs in June of 2022 from Minnesota, but I have lived in places like California, Texas, and Brazil. When I am not at work, you can catch me spending time with friends, traveling, cooking, hiking, and watching TV. As someone who was a first-generation college student, I enjoy supporting current students navigate their own college experience. If you are looking for resources, opportunities, or support at UCCS or beyond, I am your person!
