Overview

I facilitate undergraduate student success from orientation to graduation with a focus on career advising. Whether in individual advising sessions or in the two classes I currently teach, I help connect students to their career paths and find opportunities for their required Bridge Experience. Additionally, I am the academic advisor for the plant science majors, which include crop and soil sciences, environmental horticulture, integrated agriculture technologies, landscape design and turfgrass, and plant science.
