About me…

Although I am originally from a small town named Genoa, OH, I have fallen in love with Cincinnati! I do miss Lake Erie sometimes, but the festivals, oppurtunities, and German heritage of the city give me more than enough reasons to stay. As an Assistant Director and Academic Advisor in UC Honors, I have the pleasure of advising some of the best and brightest students at UC (and, in my opinion, the country). After graduating from UC in 2009, I spent two years in admissions recruiting local students and advising campus tour guides. After I realized my passion for student advising, I came to the University Honors Program and now advise Lindner College of Business students, Mechanical Engineering, MET, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, CET, and Electrical Engineering students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, and students in Clermont and Blue Ash Colleges. I love UC and all of the great things it has to offer, so stop on by to discuss scheduling, Honors Experiences, or anything on your mind!

Ask me about…

• How I make the best pad thai in Cincinnati
• The University of Cincinnati and Bearcats (I’m a little obsessed)
• Growing up in a town of 60 people and then attending an urban university
• Snow skiing and boating (not at the same time, of course)

Favorite Classroom Experience

I guess it’s not really a traditional “classroom” experience, but it took place during Summer Quarter 2008 where I spent five weeks in Cincinnati taking courses and then spent the remaining 6 weeks of the quarter in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Koh Samui, Thailand on a Lindner College of Business Study Abroad.
