Responsibilities
As the University Honors Program graduate assistant, I am responsible for advising honors students through their class selection, co-curriculars, and final honors project. Additionally, I advise the University Honors Activities Team in event planning and meet with prospective students and parents that are interested in the honors program.
In my undergraduate career, I worked with a social psychology research team, where I conducted projects examining religious beliefs and their relationships with various social phenomena. In the years ahead, I would love to look more at religion, specifically at its presence in family systems and couples.

I am pursuing my master's in Couple and Family Therapy, and when I am not in class or working for the Honors Program, you can find me going to concerts, reading, watching movies, or playing guitar. I am originally from Manhattan, and I love K-State for its outstanding faculty and students, diverse coffee options, and its love of the color purple and all things cat.
