About Me:
I think some of my earliest words were likely "Go Huskies" as my Dad was a returning student to UW after retiring from a 20 year Navy career. I followed in his footsteps and became a proud, second generation Husky. I graduated from the University of Washington with a double degree in history and psychology and a minor in music (or one might say minor in Marching Band). I thoroughly enjoyed my time here at the UW as a student, so I liked the idea of becoming a full time employee after graduation. I floated around as a substitute advisor/program assistant in both General Undergraduate Advising and Student Athlete Academic Services for about a year before leaving on a three month solo adventure through Australia. I needed an extended vacation after 5 years of college and traveling was the perfect outlet. I met some amazing people and saw several beautiful sunsets, it was the trip of a lifetime. I returned to the States with renewed energy and enthusiasm. As a student, I served as a tour guide, orientation leader, and FIG leader, and I am very pleased to have ended up back in the student service sector. In my spare time, you can often find me spending time with my family, camping, hiking, bicycling, sailing, hiking, or volunteering at my son's elementary school. Istarted my career in the Allen School as an adviser, and in my early years I developed an interest in encouraging more women to pursue the field of Computer Science & Engineering. I co-led a a seminar designed to show women the breadth and depth of careers in CSE. The seminar served as a place for women to meet others who share their same interests. In June 2005, my co-instructor (and the co-creator of the seminar), Crystal Hoyer and I presented a paper on our experiences at the American Society of Engineering Education Exposition in Portland, Oregon.

In June 2005 I was also thrilled to join an international working group at the Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education conference in Lisbon, Portugal. Our working group has published two papers.

In 2011 I became the Director of Student Services and I've been at the healm growing our team from 3 to over 20. I currently head up our Undergraduate Student Services Team, which is comprised of 20+ amazing individuals who are dedicated to improving the student experience within the Allen School, and through working with prospective students. We have three teams, Advising, Diversity & Access and Student Services Operations.
