Bio

Born & raised in Denver (Skyview HS alum), I attended the University of Denver as a first-generation college student which is where my love for helping students began. When I am not helping students, I will be looking up the closest waterfall hike, going to the theater, planning a solo trip or watching Grey's Anatomy for the 10th time. I moved out to California 4 years ago and am now based in LA where I am trying to trade in my snowboard for a surfboard. I love to cook new dishes, create mini-vlogs, and try new coffee shops!

Favorite Spot Around CU Campus

My favorite spot on campus is anywhere you can have a clear view of the flat irons, especially during a beautiful sunset (oh, and the Buffalo Shaped Swimming pool!)

Best Part About Your Job

Helping students (and families) feel more confident in this process. Its a HARD process and I always like to remind people of that because it's overwhelming but its very worth it. There is a school for every student out there and its just a matter of knowing what their options are and I'm happy to explain that to students. I also love getting to tell students how great Colorado is! It makes me feel at home even though I'm thousands of miles away.
