PERSONAL BIOGRAPHY:

I grew up in Eau Claire, WI and moved to Madison to pursue my undergraduate degree. During my undergraduate career, I participated in multicultural Greek life, guided students through summer orientation at SOAR, and engaged in community service through my scholarship program. Since graduating in the spring of 2020, I have spent the past year as an educator. I began teaching as a private instructor for a pod of third grade students, then transitioned into the role of a second grade ESL teacher to finish out the 2020-2021 school year. I have enjoyed my time working with elementary students, and am super excited to begin working with UW-Madison students again. I look forward to developing programming to support student leaders.

FAVORITE QUOTES:
