I found my love of higher education while working with students on academic probation as an undergraduate student at Ohio University. I decided to take a two year break from school and gain work experience before starting graduate school at 5X社区 in 2010 in the Higher Education Administration and Student Personnel program. While in graduate school, I worked in the Center for Adult and Veteran Services where I recruited veterans to come to Kent State to further their education. My internships during graduate school were at Ursuline College, Cuyahoga Community College, and Notre Dame College. I obtained full-time employment at Hiram College after graduation where I worked with adult students in the Weekend College program. After about a year, I transitioned into Hiram College's community college partnership where I worked with students at Lorain County Community College who were earning their bachelor's degree on LCCC's campus through Hiram.
I am so glad to have found my home back at Kent State in EHHS! I understand my students may still be finding who they are in a large university setting, and I am here to support them through their journey. I love to advise students on how to get the best out of their education and guide them along the way for their future personal and academic successes. My student-centered advising approach showcases that my interest lies in keeping students engaged and on-track for graduation while building a great working relationship along the way.
My personal interests include local art shows, antiquing, Cleveland Browns football, and watching documentaries.
