About Me

I’m a proud Baltimorean who has always believed in the power of education to transform lives and communities. For more than 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of advising and supporting college students, and have loved being a part of the UMBC community since 2019.

In my role, I work with prospective and current transfer students in computing and engineering, guiding them through the transfer process and cheering them on from their very first advising appointment to graduation day. I love building programs that not only ease the transition to UMBC but also help students feel connected, supported, and ready to succeed.

Supporting transfer students is more than my job—it’s my passion. As a native Baltimorean, I’m deeply committed to helping both my students and my community thrive, and I bring that energy to everything I do.

Fun Fact: Bob’s Burgers is one of my absolute favorite shows!
