I have a strong passion for helping students connect classroom learning with real-world experiences. My goal is to facilitate high-impact experiences that have a positive personal and professional impact on students - internships, volunteering, learning abroad, research, and much more! I want students to feel confident in their career management. I hold a bachelor's degree in Religious Studies from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a master's degree in Teaching from Western Governors University. As someone who did not seek out career services during my time in college, my career journey has been somewhat scattered. I have worked in a variety of fields, such as campaign organization, political fundraising, real estate, finance, and public education. However, my core values and interests have remained constant. In 2021, I started working for the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota in their Office of Experiential Education. This role ignited my passion for experiential learning. I am thrilled to be a part of CLA Undergraduate Education and CLA Career Services as the Coordinator for Experiential Learning. I feel all my experiences have led me to this role where I can make a difference for students.

I moved to Minneapolis from Charlotte, NC, in 2017. While I miss my family, I love living in Minnesota. Outside of work, I like to go running, try new restaurants, dance, and spend time with my wife and cat.
