Lead Undergraduate Academic Adviser

I’m originally from California, where I attended college in Southern California, but moved up to Seattle in 2015 for graduate school to pursue student development and academic advising. My favorite thing about advising is learning from you all – share with me what you’re learning about in your classes, or what you’re exploring in an internship or job.

I love working as an academic adviser and being able to help students on their academic journeys. As an undergraduate, I double majored in English and Biology at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Afterwards, I earned my Master of Education in Student Affairs in Higher Education at Marquette University. I relocated to Seattle in 2019, which was when I first started working at UW ECE.
