As a true Coloradan, I love all the outdoor activities including hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, four-wheeling, running, biking, and walking. I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, two daughters, and many dogs. As an Educator and Academic Advisor, I believe in a holistic approach to working with students where we start with life goals, that leads to vocational goals, then program choice, followed by course choices, and finally building a course schedule. I believe the Advisor's role is to help students make informed decisions. I help students connect their current studies to their future plans, and I encourage meaningful connections and networking inside and outside of class. I will always be real and transparent while communicating in a clear and honest manner. And I will provide a safe and trusting environment for students to ask questions, express concerns and make decisions. I can't wait to meet you!
