About

I am originally from Flint, MI but have been living in Chicago for most of my adult life.  I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Music from Oakland University and my Master’s Degree in Higher Education & Student Affairs from Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!). I have several years of experience working in Residence Life, Student Activities, and Academic Advising, most recently at the University of Illinois Chicago. My husband and I moved back to Michigan in 2025 for him to pursue his PhD at Michigan State University. I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, being an uncle, and anything outdoors in the sunshine!I am originally from Flint, MI but have been living in Chicago for most of my adult life.  I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Music from Oakland University and my Master’s Degree in Higher Education & Student Affairs from Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!).
