I started at CMU in 2016.  I manage executive communications for the Finance Division, working closely with the university’s CFO, Angela Blanton. I work with the CFO and Finance Division leadership team on critical presentations and documents, including materials presented to the university’s Board of Trustees, Faculty Senate, and senior administration. I also manage the production of key publications, including the university’s Annual Financial Report and the Finance Division Retrospective.

Expand its work in DEIB initiatives and deepen collaboration across committees. I would love to see Staff Council continue to build on its advocacy and support for diverse families and individuals through inclusive benefits like parental leave and flexible work arrangements. I'm also passionate about culture change, and working toward a collective culture at CMU where everyone feels safe to be themselves; Staff Council does some great work in this realm and I would love to contribute.

Something people might find surprising about me it that I love extremely spicy food. I can run the Hot Ones gauntlet, no problem 😊
