Born and raised just outside of Greensburg, I attended Hempfield Area High School then spent my first two years of college studying Psychology at WCCC. I transferred to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania to finish my bachelor's in Psych where I fell in love with the field of Student Affairs after I became a Resident Assistant. I continued at Edinboro to earn my Master's in Student Affairs and College Counseling while working as a Residence Life Coordinator.
From Edinboro, I moved to Huntingdon, PA to work at Juniata College as their Study Abroad Advisor, helping students explore the world. I was there for almost 5 years before moving back to Youngwood to work as the Student Affairs Coordinator at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ (LECOM). At LECOM, I helped future doctors navigate the complicated world of med school. This is where I learned more about ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ University and eventually made my way here!
