Bio
I grew up in Reading, PA and spent most of my life exploring the Northeastern U.S. After graduating, I jumped right into admissions at my alma mater and have loved all the experiences it’s brought me. I visited Colorado for the first time last year and made the move just a year later (the 24-hour drive was totally worth it!). Since then, I’ve loved getting to explore the outdoors and checking out all the great local restaurants.
Favorite Spot Around CU Campus
Chautauqua Park was the first place I visited in Boulder and it's the first spot I take family/friends when they come to visit!
Best Part About Your Job
The best part of my job is helping students navigate their college journey. As a first-generation college graduate, I know firsthand how overwhelming and confusing the process can be. My goal is to be a supportive, reliable resource and to help students find their own “home away from home.”
