Though I’m originally from Allentown, PA I’ve lived most of my life in Indianapolis, IN. I didn’t realize how much I missed the mountains until moving to Asheville, and I absolutely love living here. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and later earned my Master’s degree in Education from Indiana University with concentrations in adult education and instructional systems technology. I started my career in human resources but transitioned to career services and discovered that it was the field that I wanted to stay in.

I love helping students discover their passions and helping them learn how to make their dreams a reality. I am so excited to continue supporting students with their career exploration and development at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Asheville, as well as partnering with faculty to support their efforts to bring career education into the classroom. Outside of work, I love reading, hiking, and spending time with my two Newfoundlands. I highly value constant growth and learning, so my next adventure is trying to learn how to homestead.
