Biography

As a Student Success Specialist, I am here to support students during one of the most exciting and challenging chapters of their lives. Whether I am connecting students with resources and organizations, or providing hope, encouragement, and positivity, every individual need is important. With that being said, I would love the opportunity to join the student's support system on campus by providing guidance and advocation. Navigating these waters may feel scary, but I am here to help show students just how rewarding, fulfilling, and exciting Texas Tech University is!
 
I completed my bachelor's degree in Human Sciences at Texas Tech University in 2017, and started working in social work immediately following graduation. Prior to starting with Texas Tech University, I was employed at the Lubbock County Detention Center as a case worker. My primary role was to provide individuals with any and all resources that would meet immediate or potential needs. I am well-versed in resources available to students on-campus and in the Lubbock community. I have personally experienced how getting plugged in with the right resources can greatly enhance the student expereince. It truly is an honor to help get student's reach their full potential by supporting their goals and meeting their needs.
 
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family (especially my twin sister), being outdoors, riding my motorcycle, and photography. I am adventurous and spontaneous, so I am always willing to try something new!
