I’m an Academic Advisor at UCCS who’s all about meeting students where they’re at and helping them feel confident about where they’re going. I see advising as more than just course planning—it's about listening, building trust, and making sure students know they’re not alone in the process. I love being part of those small moments when something clicks for someone, or they realize they’re more capable than they thought. My goal is to create a space where students feel supported, seen, and inspired to take ownership of their journey.

• I’m a big Real Salt Lake fan (and still loyal to the Athletics, Utah Jazz & LA Chargers)
• I don’t drink coffee—but I’m always down for pan dulce.
• I was born and raised in West Valley City, Utah.
• I geek out on video games & Pokémon Go.
• Music gets me through everything—it shifts with my mood, the day, and the vibe, and if it hits, it’s on the playlist.
• I believe representation matters—and I try to be the advisor I wish I had.

• M.Ed. in Higher Education Leadership, Weber State University
