Advisor since: August 2024

Academic Advising Interests: I especially love working with low-income students, as I was a low-income student myself when I was in college!

Previous work experience: Before working in advising, I worked in undergraduate admissions for three years at my alma mater. Before that, I worked in mental health for three years. I've always loved supporting students, and I appreciate that advising lets me do that every hour of every day.

Interests, hobbies, fave activities: I really enjoy hiking, board games, reading, and following the NBA, with some video games thrown in there, too. I also love animals! Although I don't (currently) have any pets of my own, I am always happy to look at cute photos of people’s cats, dogs, or other animal friends.
