Personal:

I was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado which is about 125 miles south of Golden. I am proud to say that I am a Colorado native. My first job in higher education was in the financial aid office as a work-study at UCCS. That is where I fell in love with working on a college campus. I enjoy welcoming first year students to college and getting to know their personal, professional and academic goals. I am passionate about helping students adapt to the college lifestyle. One piece of advice that I can offer you is that the time in college goes fast, so I encourage you to get involved as much as possible to make the most of every opportunity that is provided to you here at Mines. I am always happy to help connect you to our campus!

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, eating at local restaurants, reading, working out and of course cheering for our hometown sports teams.
