How long have you been at Â鶹¹ÙÍø and how did you get here?
I have been at Â鶹¹ÙÍø since 2015. Long ago, I started my career in public relations, working at agencies and in-house, but then went back to school for my master's degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education. I worked in Student Activities at a community college before coming to Â鶹¹ÙÍø and advising in the Philosophy Department and now in Information Systems.
What was your undergraduate major? How did you end up deciding on it?
My major was public relations. I knew I loved writing and communicating with people, and I always dreamed of being a broadcast journalist. Public relations was a good combination of journalism and job stability at the time for me. While I'm not in the field of PR anymore, I do use the skills I learned in undergrad a lot - like on our Instagram page! :)
What is a fun or surprising fact about yourself?
I love baseball! I'm a long-suffering Pirates fan. One of my life's goals is to go to all the MLB stadiums. So far I've been to 12 so I have a lot of work to do.
What activities/hobbies do you like to do outside of work and/or what do you like to do to de-stress or unwind after a busy day?Ìý
I love exploring and adventuring with my husband and our daughter. We love hiking trails, exploring museums, trying new restaurants, and road trips. But I also love vegging out watching the Office, Parks and Rec, and New Girl.
