What I'm looking for

I seek student‑centered roles where I can design inclusive programs, support student wellbeing, and grow in campus leadership.

I am a dedicated and adaptable student affairs professional focused on fostering inclusive, supportive, and engaging student communities through residence life, programming, and outreach. I combine strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills with digital communication and social media expertise to build meaningful relationships and enhance the student experience.

My experience includes serving as a Resident Assistant for a 40+ resident community, coordinating campus-wide events, and working directly with students as a Scholarship Support Specialist. I have a track record of crisis management, community-building awards, and executing successful, inclusive programs that promote wellness, diversity, and student success.
