My Career Journey
My career journey into higher education began when I was an undergraduate at the University of Tennessee at Martin. I was a work study student in the Student Life and Multicultural Affairs Office for three years. This experience, coupled with being involved in various student organizations, drove me to pursue my Master of Education in Higher Education Administration at Vanderbilt University. Following my graduate program, I spent a year serving in AmeriCorps. I have finally settled in at JMU and loving every minute of it!
