I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology in 2023 and my Master’s degree in Educational Administration with a specialization in student affairs. My previous roles and involvements on campus, including the Nebraska College Preparatory Academy, New Student Enrollment, University Honors Program, and the UNL Teacher Scholars Academy, empowered me to go into higher education with a focus on college transition and student development and growth. As a career coach for the Business Career Center, I aim to help students from all backgrounds find or prepare for a career that best aligns with their passions and interests. As a first-generation Nebraska-born professional, I wish to help every student feel welcomed and valued for their strengths throughout their college journey. 

I personally enjoy music, theatre, reading, board/video games, cooking, learning about sports, and building new relationships.
