What is your favorite thing about NKU?
My favorite thing about NKU is the students. I have met some extraordinary students who have overcome many obstacles to get to NKU.

Where is your favorite spot on campus? What makes that spot so special?
My favorite spot is in the University Center on the third floor. Right outside of the ballroom is an open seating area that looks out on the courtyard between the Chase School of Law and SOTA. I love sitting up there and looking out on the beautiful campus. To me what makes that spot so special is the scenery. Regardless of the weather, the view from that spot is beautiful. It is a good balance of the buildings and the greenery.

What is the first word that comes to mind when you think about NKU?
Special.

What is your favorite way to spend your free time?
My free time typically involves food. I enjoy eating good food and trying new restaurants in the tri-state. I also love baking and actually use it as stress reliever. I have a small home bakery business that I operate as a side hobby.

What is your greatest passion?
I am very passionate about helping people and encouraging them to be the best version of themselves. I specifically take interest in college students because of my personal experience in undergraduate and graduate school. I received an immense about of support and encouragement from university staff and administrators throughout my collegiate years and I aspire to provide the same level of support and encouragement to the students that I serve on a daily basis.
