I am a former student-athlete at Bluffton University and Graduate Assistant at Purdue University. For 3 years I worked as an Academic Coordinator within Ball State's Student-Athlete Support Services department. During this I had the opportunity to work with a diverse student-athlete population with students from all over the world. In the Summer 2021 semester, I returned to Purdue as a Learning Specialist and was fortunate to be promoted to Assistant Director of Football Academics and the Center of Academic Vision and Enrichment (CAVE) in the Spring of 2023. Following the Spring 2024 semester, I made the transition to Academic Advisor within the Agricultural Economics program within the Purdue College of Agriculture.
