Biography

I received my BFA in Musical Theatre from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 2008. During college I held several positions both within the University system as a Recruiter for the Theatre Department as well as in the retail field and food services. After college I traveled with the global education program Up with People. During my 6 months with Up with People I participated in the Marketing and Operations internship. I was then hired as a Field Marketing and Operations Manager and have worked in Florida, Texas, Colorado and Bermuda. Duties included event planning for a large group, negotiations, public relations, organizing community service and performance events, and dealing directly with all forms of media. I then worked as the Vocal Instructor for 3 tours teaching and maintaining the musical aspect of the production.

I finished my Master's Degree in Student Development Administration from Seattle University in 2013. During graduate school, I worked as a Residence Hall Director at Cornish College of the Arts. I've worked in housing, recruitment, academic advising and career coaching during my professional life in Higher Education. In my current role in the College of Business, I help coordinate the BSAD 222 course.

I love board & video games, Dungeons & Dragons, theatre, reading, baking, knitting and spending time with my cockapoo Hugo.
