About Me

I graduated from JMU in 2008 with a B.S. in Sports Management. During that time, I was an Resident Adviser (RA) in Ikenberry Hall and Hall Director in Frederikson Hall. After undergrad, I worked in the golf industry for a year before returning to JMU in 2009 to be a Full-Time Hall Director (Chandler Hall and Shenandoah Hall) in the Office of Residence Life. While working for ORL, I completed a Master of Education degree in College Student Personnel Administration (CSPA). I also served as an Area Director for seven years in ORL, working directly with RAs, Hall Directors, and overseeing four different areas of campus (Village, Hillside, Grace Street, and Skyline). I have been in my current role with OSARP since July 2019 and I am also a PhD student in the School of Strategic Leadership Studies at JMU.
