After completing my undergraduate studies, I continued my academic journey by obtaining a Master's degree in Technology from Eastern Illinois University. This program allowed me to explore the intersection of technology and education, further fueling my interest in enhancing the student experience. My professional journey has led me to the University of Illinois, where I have spent seven rewarding years. During my time at U of I, I have had the privilege of working closely with students, helping them navigate their academic and personal journeys. My commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment has allowed me to positively impact the lives of countless students. I am proud to call the Champaign-Urbana area my home, and I am deeply invested in the success and growth of the community. Whether it's through my academic pursuits or my work in student affairs, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to reach their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the vibrant cultural scene of the Champaign-Urbana area, staying up-to-date with the latest technological advancements, and seeking opportunities for personal growth and development. I am excited to continue my journey in higher education and student affairs, making a lasting impact on the lives of students and the communities I serve.
