Personal Biography:

I grew up in a few different locations in Illinois and Kansas, however I spent a good part of my younger years in Madison and am very happy to return. While attending Lake Forest College I was fortunate enough to be involved with a number of student organizations, groups, and activities. This lead me to pursue a degree in student affairs which I fulfilled by attending Eastern Illinois University to receive my M.S. in College Student Affairs while working for University Housing & Dining as well as Fraternity & Sorority Programs.

What do you think every student should know about the UW-Madison campus?

UW-Madison and the surrounding community are one of the few locations on earth you can find with so much culture, intelligence, natural beauty, and people to share it all with. Take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to you. Try something new, if you don’t like it, find something else new to take its place.
