About me:

Degrees earned:

Bachelor’s in African American Studies and bachelor’s in Politics & Government

Colleges I graduated from:

University of Puget Sound

Why I work at CSF:

I work at CSF because the guidance and presence of mentors throughout my high school and college years changed my life. I believe in the power of intentionally listening to and being in community with others, especially when it comes to navigating college, and believe this is part of making educational equity a reality. I strive to give back to students in the same way my mentors did for me and be part of the larger work of eliminating barriers to a college education.

What I enjoy doing outside of work:

As a former college soccer player, I love to stay active with running and lifting. I played the piano and ukulele growing up, so I love to make music with family and friends. I also enjoy cooking and going out to eat at new places!
