Responsibilities
In my role as Program Administrator, I'm responsible for the day-to-day activities and programming under UHP. My responsibilities include recruitment of new students, advising and cultivating relationships with current students, and collaborating with campus partners. Though I work with all honors students, the Campbell Scholars are my main focus. I look forward to the future growth of the honors program.
My academic and professional work has centered on supporting refugee resettlement, with a particular focus on housing and helping newcomers successfully acclimate to life in the United States.
- Bachelor of Political Science, University of Dayton, 2020
- Master's in Regional and Community Planning, Kansas State University, 2025
Though I'm originally from Ohio, I have lived in Kansas for 5+ years now. Outside of work, you're most likely to find me around town with my dalmation, Willie. I'm an avid reader and love to cheer on the 'Cats!
