I’m excited to be a part of the Pre-Professional Advising Center staff at the University of Cincinnati.  One of the best parts of my career is working with energetic and passionate college students. I enjoy assisting students in making important decisions relating to their education, career, and life! When I’m not in the office, I’m probably out traveling the globe.

I am excited to join the Pre-Professional Center staff at the University of Cincinnati after having spent the last ten years in medical school recruitment, student affairs and alumni relations. This position returns me to my roots of collaborating with, and providing compassionate and honest advising to undergraduate students (and in my homestate, too). I look forward to working with the determined and energetic students at UC, and the welcoming colleagues from across the campus.

I’m enthusiastic about making the move to Academic Advising and working at the Pre-Professional Advising Center with fantastic colleagues and motivated students. I intend to utilize my previous background in student leadership development, enrollment management, academic affairs and alumni affairs to provide support to students and help them succeed in achieving their academic, professional and personal goals. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters, trying new restaurants, and doing pilates.
