• About me:  After earning a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and working in the mental health field in various roles, I had my first experience working in education as a teaching assistant at Riverbend Alternative Learning Center in New Ulm, MN. It was there that I witnessed the power of staff-student relationships in moving students forward in their personal and academic journey. I knew I wanted to continue this kind of work, so I went on to the graduate study of College Student Personnel at MNSU-Mankato. From there I worked at Gustavus Adolphus College, a small private residential college, yet another prime environment for developing meaningful relationships with students.  I joined the SCC community as Director of the Academic Support Center in 2019 with excitement to work with a diverse student body who live, work, and study in the community that I call home.  

  What I love about SCC:  I love knowing that people come here to make a better life for themselves, whether that’s by gaining transfer credits, earning a certificate in a new career path, or taking courses to improve specific skills for professional or personal development.

  Interests/Things to chat with me about: Yoga, gardening, camping, music, and places to hike, bike, swim, or paddleboard in the area.
