A little about me...
I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio. I am a first-generation college student and was the first in my family to graduate from college at Miami University. At Miami, I studied psychology and worked in the leadership office for 3 years and was also an orientation leader. Through these roles, I discovered my passion for student affairs and stayed at Miami to pursue my master's in student affairs. Since then, I have worked in residence life at Miami, served as an academic & career advisor at a school in North Carolina, and most recently was an Assistant Director in the Gen-1 Program at UC before joining UHP!
As an advisor, I love to get to know my advisees on a personal level and help them pursue the things they are most passionate about. College is exciting, and I love to help students make the most of that experience as they prepare to enter the world post-graduation. Additionally, my first-gen identity is something I hold very dearly, and I love to talk about and celebrate first-gen students across UC.
In my free time, I love to cheer on my Cleveland sports teams (Cavs, Browns, & Guardians)! I love music, staying on top of weekly new releases and seeing my favorites live. I also collect vinyl records and have just over 500 in my collection. I enjoy spending time outdoors and hanging out with my partner Halle and our cat, Lola.
I am currently advising students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS). Please come through to say hi!
