As a higher education practitioner I have worked in residence life, TRIO programs, diversity and inclusion, student athlete success, student support services (first generation college students) and national scholarship advisement. I started my educational journey at Northern Arizona University, where I obtained a B.S. in Business Marketing and a B.S. in Business Management in 2017, followed by a M.A. in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the University of Connecticut in 2019. Focusing on inclusivity is important to me, as I strive to achieve it in my everyday life. It is my goal to support, lead and create positive change and equitable practices for underrepresented individuals in higher education and student affairs. I continue to seek new ways to develop and implement programs or ideas that will lead towards creating equitable change in life, on campus, and in society. I am interested in focusing on opportunities that will allow me to continue to fulfill my lifelong aspirations of bringing all individuals together to learn and recognize the value we all have in this world. Outside of work, I’m a cycling enthusiast and teach a few classes a week. I also love spending time with friends, family and volunteering.
