I graduated from Georgetown College in Kentucky in 2007 with a degree in Political Science and minors in German and Psychology. While in college, I served as an Orientation Leader, Orientation Coordinator, Student Life Intern, Student Government Public Relations Chair, and was very involved with Greek Life. Because of the impact many higher education professionals had on my collegiate experience, I decided to pursue a Master's in Higher Education and Student Affairs. I graduated with my master's in 2009 from the University of South Carolina.
I have been working in higher education since my graduation, and have had roles in Orientation, Residence Life, Greek Life, Campus Activities and Leadership, and Academic Advising.
