Advisor of the Year 2020
Student Quote: "She gives great advice without cornering a student to pick a certain pathway. She is always willing to listen and supportive of choices that will help the student succeed. She is thorough and always leaves the students with an email following up on everything that was mentioned in the meeting. She is warm and inviting and easy to talk to. A great advisor for any freshman that walks through her doors."

Student Quote: "She made me feel like I was in control of my own path, and guided me when I didn’t know what to do. I changed my mind about being pre-med and this didn’t phase her at all. She simply helped me adjust my plan in a way that was best for me. I’m sad that she isn’t in the department of my intended major because I would love to continue my major advising with her."
