I have served as an admission counselor for students in Charlotte and the surrounding areas since 2021 and as a Charlotte native myself, I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work with students in my own hometown. In addition to my role as an admission counselor, I am the supervisor of the University Ambassadors. I am also a proud UNCA alum and graduated in 2020 with a B.A. in History.

My favorite aspects of my education were the opportunity for undergraduate research and a wonderful connection with faculty. I initially chose UNCA because of its proximity to both the mountains and downtown Asheville, but quickly found an incredible community both in and out of the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy watching basketball, playing D&D, making music, and exploring Asheville with my wife and two cats.
