Professional Experience: 

  • How long in ACD: I started in ACD in September 2017.
  • What do you like about the work you do: I love working with students to help build community, be a place they feel comfortable asking for help, and working to reach their goals! I also love working as part of a team.

    • Academic advisor and senior academic advisor with the School of Education at the University of Missouri, June 2012–August 2017.

Advice to students: Don’t be afraid to ask for help!

If you could be any major in your cluster, what would it be? Why?: I would be a community health major. I think the classes look fascinating, and all of the professors I’ve met in public health have been extremely interesting and helpful.

Biography: I am originally from Columbus, Indiana. I love Purdue sports (esp. basketball), dogs, reading (esp. fiction novels), the Colts, and spending time with family and friends.
