Education:

  • Bachelor of Science, History and Political Science, Ball State University

Professional Experience:

  • How long in ACD: I started in November 2021.
  • What do you like about the work you do: I love the opportunities I have to help faculty and staff have what they need to help our students find their right paths to a degree and job after graduation. 
  • Past jobs/experiences: I have worked in a number of roles in higher education, including residence life, academic advising, student conduct, TRIO Student Support Services, and career development. I most recently led Indiana INTERNnet (now Work and Learn Indiana), a not-for-profit focused on using internships and work-and-learn experiences to connect students to employers across Indiana.

Advice to students: Always ask questions. Always seek out resources. Remember not to compare the first chapter in your book to the tenth chapter in someone else's. And always come see your student success advisor and career consultant.

If you could be any major in your cluster, what would it be? Why?: I would be an exploratory major instead of changing my major as a junior and going to school for a fifth year to earn my degree. Our first choice is rarely our best choice.

Biography:I am originally from Culver, Indiana, but I have called Indianapolis my home now for 15 years. I enjoy rooting for the Colts, the Pacers, the Indy Eleven, and the Atlanta Braves. I am a “foster dad” to rescued Labrador Retrievers through Love of Labs Indiana, and I serve on the board of directors for the Brickyard Battalion. I am also a longtime sports official, and you’ll find me umpiring baseball/softball or refereeing soccer matches as my schedule allows. I have been working with/for students for nearly 20 years and very much enjoy being part of the IU Indianapolis and ACD family!
