About Me
I graduated from the College of William & Mary in 2011 with a B.A. in Women's Studies. While there, I was involved in a variety of student organizations including the Lambda Alliance (Queer Student Union), Student Assembly, and Meridian Coffeehouse. After graduation, I spent two years in Denver, Colorado managing two small businesses before returning to the east coast in December 2013 to work at Dickinson College until 2023. I spent nine years in student activities and leadership development where I advised the student programming board and media board, administered student organizations and technology platforms, oversaw student events and the student union building, as well as collaborative roles with student conduct and Title IX.
As a student leadership educator, I am passionate about the contributions student organizations offer towards a healthy and vibrant college campus and the co-curricular benefits for students' educational experiences. Student accountability can be an opportunity for students and organizations to learn, to grow, and to collaboratively create a better campus community for themselves and those around them.
