My passion is connecting people to resources that make their work and lives easier. This has shown up in a variety of spaces through my career. I have helped our aging population plan for their future lifestyle needs. I am a thought partner with colleagues to work through challenging, complex issues in the workplace. And I build project plans that leverage individual strengths to meet objectives and intended outcomes on time. Connecting the work that I am responsible for - whether it is in business development, marketing, operations or human capital - with this purpose of creating connections, has created value in my life and for the organizations I have served.
After spending four years in Manhattan, and on the K-State campus, my family – husband, Eric and two children, Gavin and Emily - moved to the Madison, Wisconsin area to be closer to family. I have learned so much about building community and the importance of belonging while working at the Staley School and have brought that way of life north - staying connected through work and friendships with colleagues across K-State. In my spare time I enjoy a good historical fiction novel, talking about training for half marathons, and supporting my kids' endeavors in everything from sports, to building rockets, to connecting with friends through video games.
