Counseling Service Coordinator

Here in Honors I… advise and support students in academic planning and pursuing professional goals. I also provide support for student leadership opportunities and the Honors Living Learning Community.

I like thinking about and studying… the relationship between literature, politics, and what is considered valued knowledge. The intersections of lived experiences, equity, and institutional inequality formed the basis of a lot of my work in undergrad, but I also love learning about history, ecology, and outer space!

My first week in college… I tried as many different restaurants on the Ave as I could (and got food poisoning) and went to a Dawg Daze event every day!
