Biography
My passion for higher education admissions stems from years of experience in academic advising, admissions, and student mentorship across diverse institutions and programs. I thrive on developing and implementing initiatives that support student success, retention, and engagement. At UT, students have the resources and opportunities to shape their own unique college experience—whether through interdisciplinary studies, campus involvement, or leadership development. My goal is to guide students in finding the right fit, encouraging them to choose a school that fuels their passion, meets their needs, and feels like home—because college is more than just a degree; it’s a transformative journey. Welcome to Rocky Top!
Fun Fact: I am a huge fan of the LA Lakers, Dallas Cowboys, and North Carolina Tarheels. I also love classic old school cars.
