The joy in my work life centers around building strong, supportive relationships, fostering connection, and promoting lifelong growth for both myself and the students I serve.
I have a particular interest in supporting the development that occurs in student organizations and experiential learning. I strongly believe that students have the most meaningful experiences and find a sense of belonging through the people they know and the activities they engage in. Those who fully feel a sense of belonging take risks, extend their best selves to others, and are receptive to learning of all kinds.

Professional & Career Readiness

I support students both in and out of the classroom as they build professional skills and prepare for life after college. A bit about me: I grew up in Bellingham and earned my undergraduate degree in Engineering from Boston University as a first-generation college student. After working in technical sales, I returned to school for a graduate degree in Education from Arizona State University. This led me to teaching in both K–12 and higher education. So yes - I’m no stranger to a career pivot!
I understand that many students are still deciding their paths for after graduation. That’s completely normal. My goal is to help you build a strong professional foundation—one that not only supports your current goals but also gives you the flexibility to grow and change.
Education should empower your future, and I’m excited to work with you on figuring out your next step!
