About Me

I’m a west Michigan native and spent the last decade outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I’m happy to be back to my Midwestern roots living here in northeast Ohio. I studied Marketing and Spanish during my undergrad at Grove City College and earned my MA in Higher Education from Geneva College. I spent a semester abroad in Costa Rica and had such a transformative experience living in a new culture and studying another language that I knew I wanted to pursue a field where I could work alongside students as they pursued their own experiences abroad.

What I Love About Kent State

 The opportunities for Education Abroad that Kent State offers are incredibly diverse. I greatly appreciate the ability to advise students to explore the vast number of program options, finding one that fits the personal and academic goals of each individual student.

Fun Facts

 My favorite place I’ve traveled to so far has been Cuba--the colorful vintage cars driving through the streets and architecture was unlike anything I had ever seen. I also spent a summer during graduate school living in Lithuania working at a North American style university with international students from Central and Eastern Europe.
