I love traveling and feel like I grew up on the road. Ohio is the 5^th state I’ve lived in. I’m originally from Northern Michigan and North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee have been stopping points in my life. Having lived in a few different states and through traveling, I have picked up a variety of sayings and accents. Even though I have lived in southern, warm states and cities, winter is my favorite season. My partner and I love hiking and have also ventured out to try camping with our dogs. I have completed 2 half marathons, but 5k and 10k runs are my favorite distances.

I was one of those high school students who knew exactly what they wanted to major in, so I selected my college and moved states in high school with this goal in mind. Life happened during college and fall of my junior year I changed majors and started researching graduate programs.  My activities, jobs, and mentors in college helped me figure out who I am and find my passion for working with college students.

I enjoy guiding College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) students through their UHP experiences and goals.
