While I was born in Asheville, most of my life has been spent living abroad—in Cochabamba, Bolivia as a child, and in Vancouver, Canada as an adult. I’m a true ‘third-culture-kid’ (TCK) as they call us. I love speaking Spanish, listening to salsa music, and Cuban Rueda dancing.  I have recently moved back to WNC to live near my parents and am enjoying getting reacquainted with the city of Asheville and being newly acquainted with the UNCA community.

My junior year of college I was an RA, an experience that transformed my college career and significantly impacted my understanding of what I had to offer the world.  After this I knew that I wanted to be involved in work that helped others become more confident in their own gifts.  This led me to work in Spain with young adults, and then to Vancouver to get my MA in Theology.  Eventually I settled back into higher education & student affairs where I oversaw a global service-learning program, worked with international students and supported the entire Student Life team.

My years in Canada further deepened my passion for leadership development which is why I am loving being a career coach and assisting the student employment team. I look forward to supporting you to take the next steps in your own career and leadership journey!
