I am originally from the Southwest but have called Asheville home since 2022. My career path has been winding and wonderful: after earning a Bachelor’s degree in English/Creative Writing from the University of New Mexico, I taught high school English for seven years, then pursued various writing- and education-adjacent work. As I developed my sense of self, I discovered my love of supporting the uniqueness of others, which led me to pursue a counseling career. I am now a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Western Carolina University.

As your career coach, I am here to support you in every stage of your career journey — from quick resume reviews to exploring the big questions about your future. I approach each student with curiosity and compassion, and if I don’t have an answer (which is likely!), I will find it.

In my personal life, I enjoy birding, playing board games, and going on walks with my pup Maizy. I absolutely love working at the Career Center. Go Bulldogs!
