Academic Expertise
I have worked at WSU in the Business Student Success Center since 2018. I received
my Bachelor’s Degree in Pastoral Ministry from Oklahoma Wesleyan University and my
Master’s in Human Resource Management right here at WSU.
Other Interests
Most of my hobbies center around whatever my three children enjoy, and when I get
the chance, I love to travel. Some of my favorite travels have been to Colorado, The
Bahamas, Monterey, California, and Hawaii. Locations on my bucket list include New
Zealand, the Mediterranean, and Alaska.
Additional
I enjoy helping students find their way, whether by helping them choose a major or
working together to figure out the best path forward through a difficult semester.
I received my Master’s Degree while working full time and raising three busy children,
so I relate with the challenges students face as they balance their academic, personal,
and professional lives.
