I’m a first‑generation college student, and my own journey started at a junior college before I transferred to Tarleton State University, where I earned my Bachelor’s in Business Administration. I’ve been part of the UCA community since August 2015. While here, I completed a Graduate Certificate in Media Design and a Master of Science in Instructional Design from UCA in 2023.
All three of my children graduated from UCA over the past decade—each in a completely different area of study. My daughter now teaches kindergarten in Florida, my oldest son works at a digital marketing firm, and my youngest works for an insurance company.
Outside of work, I love collecting nutcrackers, baking, sewing, and spending time with my family. I also run a small business, so you might catch me around town at local markets in the evenings or on weekends.
