Academic Advisor I

Hometown: Dallas, Texas
Education: B.S. Psychology, Minor in Counseling, University of North Texas

About Me: During my time at UNT, I worked at a counseling clinic and served as a teaching assistant for the College of Business.  Following my degree, I spent three years as Adult Probation Officer with Denton County, where I developed a passion for guiding others towards their goals and connecting them with the resources they need to succeed. I’m excited to join the TWU community and help students navigate their academic journey while learning more about the university and its rich history.  Outside of work, I enjoy crocheting and crafting, spending time with family and friends, cooking, and hanging with my three cats – Mochi, Yuki, and Cheddar.
