What I enjoy about working for CU Boulder

I enjoy working at CU Boulder because I get to contribute to the department and college’s mission while helping processes run smoothly for students, faculty, and staff. I especially enjoy finding ways to make information clear and accessible, making day to day work easier for others. Being part of a community that values learning and growth is extremely motivating and makes it a great fit. 

Bio

I’m thrilled to be working in Mechanical Engineering as an HR Coordinator. Before joining the team, I worked in CU Boulder’s Student Life Employee Experience department, supporting high-volume HR transactions. I graduated from Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin, am SHRM-CP certified, and have experience in higher education HR at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am passionate about making processes clear and approachable to help faculty, staff and students navigate HR.

Outside of work, being fairly new to Colorado, I’ve loved being able to go on hikes sometimes right after work. It’s amazing to have incredible trails just a short drive away and to explore mountain towns on the weekends. I especially love seeing the Flatirons- it’s such a change from the cornfields of Wisconsin! When I’m not hiking, you can find me checking out local coffee shops, reading, or spending time with my cat, Bean.
