I am passionate about education and was drawn to being an education major because of my drive to support students.  I am thrilled to be able to support transfer students throughout the application process at UNC Asheville. The connection and support that exists between faculty and students really stands out to me at UNC Asheville.  I have seen this first hand as it translates into meaningful undergraduate research opportunities for students in their fields. 

I have worked in various educational roles from a classroom teacher to a school district leader.  Prior to my position at UNC Asheville, I served as an instructional coach, professional development facilitator, and district strategic planner. Originally from Buffalo, NY I am an avid Bills fan.  I love spending time with my family (husband, daughter, and Goldendoodle) exploring all the great restaurants and outdoor activities in Asheville.
