Student Success Specialist

Be the person you needed when you were younger.  

I work to support students in the College of Education by providing resources, assessing for areas of support, and getting students plugged into the campus. My goal is to ensure every student feels like they can succeed at Tech, especially if they are facing obstacles on campus or in their personal life.
 
After my undergrad, I completed two years of service with AmeriCorps at a middle school in Wilmington, DE. When that program ended, I went to graduate school. During graduate school, I worked as a graduate assistant for my school's Student Disability Services department, where I supported students seeking academic, dietary, and housing accommodations. When I completed my master's program, I worked for two years as a school social worker in a middle school in Fort Worth, providing case-management services and crisis intervention to students and their families.
 
I love playing with my dogs, playing video games, reading, and hanging out with friends.

My Academic Journey

My college experience was very difficult for me. I struggled a lot with finances, finding my fit with friend groups, and figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. I felt like I was struggling all alone, I didn't know my resources, and I didn't know who to reach out to for help. Of course, I have a lot of fond memories and fun moments to look back on, but I also look back and see a student who needed guidance. I feel honored to be someone at Texas Tech who can recognize students like me and say “Hey! Here's some next steps you can take.”
