About

I grew up in Central Illinois and have spent most of my adult life bouncing between Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. I attended Taylor University from 2017–2021, and I’m so excited to be back in the Taylor University Residence Life community! My experience at Taylor as a student shaped me deeply, so it feels especially meaningful to be back and serving the community that impacted me so much.

For the past five years, I’ve called the St. Louis, Missouri, area home (go Cardinals!). I spent three years working in Admissions while earning my master’s degree, followed by two years working in Residence Life. I have a deep love for conversation, building relationships, and creating spaces where people feel welcomed and at home.

Outside of work, you can usually find me spending time with my husband, Elijah, traveling, reading at a coffee shop, or baking goodies to share with friends.
