I consider myself a midwesterner at heart -- we moved here from Missouri, but I've also called Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio home (along with a short stint in Virginia). 

My hobbies are getting outside in the fresh air and sunshine, hiking, running, yoga, paddleboarding and reading.

As your academic advisor, I am here to help you navigate your college experience. While I am here to help you stay on the path toward your degree, I am here for much more than that. My primary role is to listen to you, to set goals with you, and to connect you to resources. I can assist with conversations around adjusting to college, work/life balance, getting involved on campus, developing academic skills, exploring majors/minors, and working to connect you to faculty. Basically, id you need something and aren't sure where to begin, I am your person. I look forward to working with you and building a mentoring relationship with you.
