I am a Tucsonan (Sunnyside High School graduate) and a first-generation college student. I benefited tremendously from the investment of faculty and staff during my time as a student, at all levels, at the University of Arizona. Now that I am in a faculty role, I seek to provide the same level of investment to the students I support. In addition to teaching at the University of Arizona, I have also taught at the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay.

Beyond my discipline specific expertise, I also possess extensive knowledge concerning all things career and professional development. This expertise was honed over four years working as a Career Educator supporting thousands of diverse undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Arizona. Indeed, much of my service work focuses on enhancing the career and professional development of students.
