Life before CBS…
I worked in academic advising and career counseling at a variety of different institutions in MN and WI.
Adjusting to college life…
During undergrad, I developed my sense of belonging by working on campus and getting involved with student leadership positions. I was an office assistant in the Dean of Student's office, Orientation Leader, and Orientation Intern. I was also a Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Psychology and Research Assistant in a psychology research lab. Through these positions I found my interest in working in higher education.
Favorite part of the job?
CBS students are great! I appreciate how motivated and committed they are to achieving their goals. I also like the variety of responsibilities that I have in my position. Every day looks a little different!
Current passions, hobbies, things that give you joy?
I spend the majority of my time chasing around my daughter. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, trying new restaurants, and spending as much time as possible outside during the summer.
