All people are on a path to learning; working with those who are intentional about it is one of my greatest privileges. I've worked with students in Admissions, Adult Education and as a Success Coach here at Central Michigan University. The simple fact that someone is a "student," opens the door to meet them where they are, explore where they want to go and walk alongside them as they craft their unique way.

I started out at CMU this past December as a Success Coach. I am a first generation American and college student originally from NJ where I worked as a first-year advisor in a community college. I also worked in the UP overseeing a success/coaching program. I am excited to be in CLASS especially since I have degrees in psychology and sociology and often use this to connect with students.
