Biography:
My job is all about helping students navigate college life—whether that’s figuring out advising questions, connecting to resources, or making sure students feel supported from day one through graduation. I'm passionate about supporting anyone who might feel overwhelmed by the college process.
My husband and I graduated with our Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Tennessee Tech. When I'm not working at The Student Success Center, I enjoy reading (always open to suggestions and looking for my next book), playing with my border collie, Franklin, and traveling. I am the proud Mom to one son who also graduated from Tennessee Tech.
My door is always open if students need help or don’t know where to start.
