I serve as an Associate Director in Academic Support & Retention (AS&R) at the University of Iowa and have been a part of the team since January 2019. In my role, I oversee all centralized programmatic academic support, including the Supplemental Instruction (SI) program, the Peer Led Undergraduate Study (PLUS) course, and the Learning Assistant (LA) program. I also have the pleasure of overseeing our front desk operations and supervising our AS&R Receptionist team. Through my role I’ve had the pleasure of working and growing with many first-generation college students! I enjoy supporting students as they navigate through the complex system that is higher education and can provide guidance when it comes to academic success. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll help you find someone who does!

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, son, and dog! I love being outdoors, enjoy singing and dancing in my living room with my son, and simply spending time with friends and family!
