Hi all, I have worked in education for over a decade; starting out as a high school English teacher, progressing to assisting with dual enrollment opportunities for high schoolers, to joining the admissions team at Brunswick Community College. Recently, I traded in the beaches for the mountains and moved to Asheville to join the team as the Associate Director of Admission for Recruitment & Outreach. UNCA's campus culture is one of the most welcoming and inclusive I have ever had the privilege of being a part of, and it is evident from the displays around campus to the faculty, staff, and students that make up the community. 

As a first-generation college student, I wish I had someone to demystify the higher education process when I first started applying to college, and I have found that championing the student experience from application to graduation is what sparks my enthusiasm in working with students of all ages. I am truly a traveler at heart, but not in pocket, so it is lucky for me that Asheville is home to a lively downtown, as well as the picturesque Blue Ridge mountains that I enjoy exploring with my family.
