I graduated from UC Davis with a BA in Psychology and later completed my MA in Career Development. After working at a career center at another higher education institution for ten years, in 2015 I returned to UC Davis and joined the ANT, ME/SA, SOC advising team. I truly enjoy my work with students, and I am passionate about seeing them reach their goals. When I am not at work, I enjoy cooking (especially baking!), reading, and relaxing with my partner and cat family.

I've been an advisor in our advising office since 2014 and have 13 years of overall academic advising experience at UC Davis. I'm also a UCD alumni and graduated with a BS in Managerial Economics! After realizing I wanted to pursue academic advising, I completed my master's in counseling with a specialization in career counseling at Sacramento State. Therefore, I have specific enthusiasm for helping students navigate their academic and career goals by making meaningful connections between their unique interests, values, and skills. For self-care outside of work, I enjoy cooking, listening to true crime podcasts and Broadway musical soundtracks, and planning new places to travel next (once we can again) with my husband and 3 year old son.

I joined the advising team in March 2019, and have seven years of experience in the functional area of university housing and residential education, with a focus on academic support. I am also a UC alum, I received my B.A in Psychology from UC Merced and M.A. in Higher Education and Student Affairs from New York University. I enjoy helping students navigate college and supporting your academic success. Outside of work, I am often playing video games, reading or watching mystery/crime/supernatural/fantasy books and shows, and spending quality time with my husband and our two cats.

I am a fourth year Sociology major with a general emphasis and a Medical Humanities minor. In addition to peer advising, I am an ambassador for the College of L&S, where I represent the college to families and students. I’m also on the board of the Davis Pre-Law Society, and I’m working on a Sociology Honors Thesis! When I’m not at school, I enjoy cooking and baking, going to concerts, and playing all sorts of board games and puzzles. I can’t wait to meet all of my Sociology peers, and I’m excited for a new year!

In my free time, I love drawing, rewatching my favorite TV shows, trying new boba spots, and dancing. I am also the director of MK Modern, a hip hop dance team here at UC Davis. I am very excited to meet all of my peers in Sociology, and I'm looking forward to a wonderful new school year!
