Biography

I have worked in higher education since 2015, serving in roles across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, and now Maryland. My career began in graduate admissions and has since expanded to academic advising, transfer articulation and college partnerships, and leadership, including Assistant Director roles in advising and administrative functions such as degree clearance.

I am pursuing my PhD in Higher Educational Leadership for Changing Populations at Notre Dame of Maryland University in Baltimore, where my research focuses on the impact of Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrollment (DE) credits on STEM students’ metacognition and social development.

Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, am an avid animal lover, and once had the unforgettable experience of standing on a glacier!
