About me

Hello Students!

I’m happy to support those transferring to CEHD from other colleges at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. No two students are the same which is what makes my job so fulfilling! I want to learn your stories, understand your needs and make sure we’re working in tandem to reach your goals.

Born and raised in the St. Paul area, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a double major in Marketing and Italian, and a certificate in International Business. After many years spent in Chicago's advertising industry, I pivoted to the world of higher education – joining Northwestern University’s Admissions team in Evanston, IL. My family finally made our way back to Minnesota and I’m thrilled to now call the U “home.”

I studied abroad in Italy during both high school and college, now volunteering as a liaison to foreign exchange students studying at Minneapolis-area high schools. In my free time, you’ll find me exploring new pockets of this beautiful state, walking the Minneapolis lakes and enjoying new adventures with my husband and two children, Liam and Evelyn.

We are committed to providing a comfortable, inclusive, and respectful environment for all members of our communities. If there is information you feel would be helpful for us to know, including disability or other accommodation needs, I invite you to share it with me directly or let the front desk know when you schedule an appointment.
