Biography

Hello! We found Western while on a road trip throughout the Western Slope; Gunnison County was the second stop on the map and fell in love with the Valley. We moved here as quick as we could and the rest is history! I began my career here at the University supporting the President’s Office and then moved into this role as Director of Advancement Services, leading data management, gift administration, reporting, business process improvement, and organizational operations. I really enjoy collaborating with my team and campus partners to reach new heights. Proud to be a Mountaineer!
