I graduated from Marshall in spring of 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in management. Outside of advising, I enjoy cooking, games (every kind), music, and my lovely cat, Gordon. I strive to empower students with the knowledge, confidence, and ambition to pursue & achieve all of their goals!

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my dog Pancake, reading, and (slowly) running marathons. I hold undergraduate degrees in Business Administration and Sport Management, along with a Master’s in Business Administration from Marshall University. My daily goal is to make a difference in someone’s life. Please know that I am here to support you and encourage you in any way I can!

I’m a first-gen college student turned college advisor, and I know firsthand how overwhelming college can feel at times. That’s why I’m passionate about helping students find their footing and thrive both academically and personally. Outside of work, I’m all about reading great books and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. My goal is to be the kind of support I wish I had when I was starting out.
