BIO
Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Eastern Michigan University in 2018. While in undergrad, I fell in love with many different aspects of higher education through my involvement with Greek Life and as a campus tour guide. This involvement and passion for the student experience inspired my decision to pursue a Master’s degree in College Student Personnel Administration from Illinois State University, from which I graduated in 2020. After completing a summer internship in Knoxville the previous summer, I was eager to move back to this beautiful area to begin my career (and the mild winters are a huge plus)! I knew Maryville College would be the perfect place to start my career, as it was incredibly important for me to find a school that shared my value of putting students first. I am thrilled to help you find your home here at Maryville College!
