Biography

I joined Drake University as the Director of Student Life in February 2021. In my role, I oversee all student organizations on campus, monitoring and approving their events on and off campus. Additionally, I advise three groups: Unity Roundtable, Dogtown After Hours, and the Student Activities Board. Within Bright College, I serve as the Engagement Coordinator– a bridge to help Bright College students get involved on campus and within the community. It's been a rewarding experience to help develop our student leaders, and I’ve always been impressed by their work ethic.

 

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. I have a daughter, and I’m a huge sports fan–especially of my Philadelphia Eagles!
