Professional Experience:
Advice to students: Always ask questions. Always seek out resources. Remember not to compare the first chapter in your book to the tenth chapter in someone else's. And always come see your student success advisor and career consultant.
If you could be any major in your cluster, what would it be? Why?: I would be an exploratory major instead of changing my major as a junior and going to school for a fifth year to earn my degree. Our first choice is rarely our best choice.
Biography: I am originally from Culver, Indiana, but I have called Indianapolis my home now for over a decade. I have been married to my partner-in-crime Ali since October 2014. We currently have two dogs: a Yorkie named Grace and a blind Labrador retriever named Edgar. They are both senior dogs. I enjoy rooting for the Colts and the Atlanta Braves, reading/listening to audiobooks, and binge-watching shows on Netflix and Hulu. I have also completed a few half marathons and will soon train for a full marathon. I have been working with/for students for nearly 20 years and am happy to be back in higher education and part of the IUPUI family!
