Outside of work you will find me building a new Lego set, scream-singing my newest musical obsession, or baking sweet treats for friends and family.

I joined the TRIO Student Support Services team in July 2024 and I am delighted to provide academic and personal support to first generation, low-income, and students with a disability. I have previously worked in social services in my hometown of Louisville, Ky until 2019 when I transitioned into higher education where I worked in the admissions office at the University of Louisville. I am a double alumni of UofL receiving both my Bachelors of Science in Sociology and my Master of Education in Counseling and Personnel Services with a concentration in College Student Personnel. I enjoy getting to assist students grow and succeed in their academic and personal journeys.
