I previously worked with the JEC Latchkey program, directly after graduating college in 2012. I returned to St. John's this past school year, where I just completed my first year as the Kindergarten Teacher's Aide in Mrs. Stottlemyer's classroom.
Prior to returning to St. John's I worked in higher education, as an Athletic Academic Advisor to Division I college student-athletes, at Texas Christian University. I have also worked in the same capacity at East Carolina University and Purdue University. My career began at Hiram College where I worked as the Assistant to the Athletic Director. Prior to working at Hiram I was a former student-athlete playing softball for 4 years as well as soccer my Junior year.
My Bachelor’s is from Hiram College in Communication and my Master's is from Purdue University in Interpersonal Communication.
In my free time I enjoy coaching softball for Triad High School
