How I Work with Students

My role as a program coordinator is to keep all the “behind the scenes” functioning for all scholars to get the most out of the Honors experience. I serve as the individual who can communicate on your behalf, connect you to the person you’re looking for – whether that is a resource or an advisor, manage your courses and evaluation provided through UHP, program support and conducting, logistics and grades, and many more. Although my work is administrative, I am involved in the planning and organizing of Honors events, social activities, workshops, and wellness support.

Fun Facts About Me

Outside of the office, I enjoy brunching on the weekends and food blogging. I also like to listen to music, cook new recipes – especially from Tik Tok, party planning – celebrations are huge in my life, and spend time with family.
