Tell us why you wanted to be an academic advisor and a bit about your advising philosophy.
College is confusing. Life is confusing. I love helping students find their path to professional success and personal fulfillment.
What are you most excited about in your new role?
I look forward to working with students trying to make complex degree plans. Honors students do cool things, and making it happen feels like solving a puzzle!
Any fun facts?
I grew up playing Skyrim on Xbox and loved optimizing my skill tree. A lot like a degree audit! I was built for this career.
