In 2018, I graduated from Iowa Central Community College with my Associate of Arts Degree. While at Iowa Central, I participated in Concert Choir and with the help of having access to many different types of classes, I decided to pursue psychology as my major. After graduating from Iowa Central, I decided to transfer to the University of Northern Iowa. While there, I decided to continue being involved in music, so I participated in Women’s Chorus. I attained my bachelor’s degree in psychology in Spring of 2020.
After graduating from UNI, I began working in the social work field at several different agencies. I have always loved being able to help others. I feel as though my prior experiences out in the field can help me guide prospective students and current students in their educational journey. I began working in academic advising because I wanted to continue helping others, while also working at a place that is important to me! I made a lot of great memories during my time of being a student at Iowa Central, and now I get to come back as a staff member!
In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, friends, and dog. We adopted our dog in 2020, and he is a Cattle Dog/Staffordshire Terrier mix. I love going for walks and being outside—in the summer you could expect to see me going to parks to walk trails or even going kayaking. For more laid-back activities, I love watching Friends, the Office, doing puzzles, and listening to music. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work somewhere that helped me discover what I wanted to do after college, so I am hoping I can do the same for the students who I advise!
