I found my love of public higher education while working for my alma mater, Chadron State College in Nebraska. I have been with Admission & Financial Aid at UNC Asheville since 2021 and have greatly enjoyed getting to know the campus community here. I find joy in getting to know students and helping them find their best path forward. UNC Asheville appealed to me because of the amazing academic opportunities available to undergraduate students, as well as a real focus on providing students with individual attention and support. The most surprising element of my introduction to UNC Asheville has been the range of wildlife and plant life to be found here on campus: everything from pawpaw and fig trees to bears! (To be clear, the bears are incredibly cute but best left alone). In my spare time, I enjoy exploring Asheville's music and art scene or simply cuddling up with a movie and my senior dog, Tuna.
