About

With Communication, Learner, and Woo Strengths in my Gallup top 10, I use my energy to motivate, empower, and encourage action with an open mind in all interactions with students, peers, and professionals alike.

As the Assistant Director of Career Development and Planning, I oversee curriculum development for our BSAD 222 course which helps students explore their career options, create a professional resume, and network with professionals. I enjoy thinking creatively about how to explore job and career opportunities, as well as helping others speak to their strengths and experiences. I take pride in being a researcher of resources and recognizing the uniqueness of all experiences and the tools needed to create desired future opportunities.

In addition to my role in the Business Career Center, I am a Co-Advisor for PRIDE in Business and the Combs Honors Scholars.
