“I have worked in the human services field for almost 20 years. I am fortunate that my role as Director of Resident Life allows me to develop new friendships with residents, families, and associates on a daily basis. My job is not just planning resident programs and events, but rather ‘experiences’ on campus and in the community that help promote the health and well-being of residents. I thoroughly enjoy the work that I do and look forward to providing leadership to the experienced staff in the Resident Life Department.”
