What do I do at the Counseling Center?
As the Counseling Center Office Manager, I serve as a welcoming presence at the front desk during the check-in process and work behind the scenes to manage fiscal operations, ensure smooth office flow, & provide essential support to both administrative and clinical staff. I joined the James Madison University Counseling Center in October 2009 and have found great fulfillment in supporting both students and staff.
What do I do outside of the Counseling Center?
Originally from Suffolk, Virginia, I moved to the Shenandoah Valley with my family at the age of 12 and have called it home ever since. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Organizational Development from Eastern Mennonite University. Throughout my time at JMU, I’ve embraced opportunities for professional growth, enhancing my self-awareness and expanding my knowledge of business operations through a variety of development courses.
With a strong interest in health and personal wellness, I’ve earned certifications in CPR and AED, as well as a Personal Training Certificate from the American Council on Exercise. I am also a Level 2 CrossFit Trainer. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors in the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Shenandoah Valley, kayaking, vacationing with my family, and getting lost in a great book.
