I am passionate about the success of students, particularly those from underserved and underprepared backgrounds. Building student and program community, providing equitable student services and accelerating student success are foundational tenets in my educational philosophy. Moreover, I have a unique blend of experience in Student Affairs and Academic Affairs that lends itself to an extensive understanding of how these two areas can converge to support student success.

My experiences range from developing impactful retention services, running student research programs, advising and career development services, developing faculty and departmental partnerships, developing student engagement and leadership programming, grant writing, scholarship development, leading an Intercultural Center, and developing equity-based policies and programs.
