This year I am completing the MSW program at the UW, with plans to graduate next June. I moved from Indiana to Seattle about four years ago and am so thankful for the beauty of Washington and for the easy access to outdoor sports like skiing, hiking, and rock climbing. I have loved my time at the UW, and I am so eager to be a part of the Youth Protection team!

I have worked with youth in a variety of athletics, school, child care, community, and non profit settings. My professional history has evolved across service delivery, program management, learning and development, performance and quality improvement, and project management. I earned a Bachelor of Arts & Science in Organismal Biology and International Development Studies from McGill University in 2015. I enjoy collaborating across the UW community to support the Office of the Youth Protection Coordinator.
