Home roots are in Iowa and of all things, basketball brought me to Colorado in 2012. First generation graduate and the focus of my Master’s thesis was on home court advantage. Although I didn’t attend CSU, I have spent the last 10 years as a CSU staff member serving in a few different roles. My day starts with a cup of coffee and typically ends with a walk around the block with my partner, Matt, and two dogs: Navvi and Banks.

You can find me right inside of the Pexton Student Success Suite. Much of the work I do is behind the scenes planning. I provide administrative support for a number of different committees and events, with my favorite event being Commencement each Fall and Spring semester!
