I am the Area Director for Computing for the Student Support & Advising Services group of the College of Engineering & Applied Science. I provide leadership and support for our academic advisors and students pursuing Computer Science and the Creative Technology and DesignÌýprograms. I have been working in higher education for two decades in a variety of roles including admissions, recruitment and orientation, but for the last decade I have been working in academic advising in its various forms. Most recently at CU Boulder,Ìý I have been the primary advisor for the Pre-engineering program and prior to that served as an academic advisor in mechanical engineering. Having served as an advising administrator at Oregon State University for the College of Science, I bring experience cultivating teams and implementing enhancements to support students as they pursue their degrees.

I am a proud alumna of Marquette University and Oregon State University, who loves sports, live music, hiking, kayaking and all things orange.
