I started at CMU in 2015.  Through my job in working on two large event weekends (Homecoming and Spring Carnival) and student engagement, I have the amazing opportunity to work with many people throughout the university, as well as get a chance to interact with students and learn about phenomenal projects happening at CMU.

During my term, I would like to see Staff Council's initiatives have even more of a platform and voice at events and activities around campus. I think there are a lot of opportunities, and I would be thrilled to help brainstorm strategic opportunities.

Something surprising about me is that I used to ride dune buggies in the country growing up.

A song that is currently the soundtrack of my life is "Shake it Off" because my (four) kiddos love Taylor Swift (the PG version). ;-)
