What is your role at Miami University?
In my role, I support the career readiness of all Miami students from incoming students to alumni. I specifically work with students in the College of Arts and Science who seek to enter industries such as Communications, Law, Government, Education, Media, and more. Working with faculty as key partners, I advise approximately 1800 students through career exploration, industry research, job and internship searches, negotiations, and career changes.
What is the favorite part about working at Miami University or the proudest moment?
My favorite part of working at Miami is walking the campus. The slight hills and beautiful landscaping make it a campus that is beautiful to go to on a daily basis. There are always picturesque spaces to have lunch outside or engage with students outside of the office.

I would go to Zimbabwe.
What do you do for fun?
I like to dance. If there are others who enjoy dancing as well, it’s a fun time!
