About Me

• I am from Columbia, S.C., but often refer to the Charlotte area as my second home. I enjoy anything beauty-related, crime documentaries and trying new restaurants. My experience as a first-year college student has driven my passion for student success and overall student development. I am currently working on my dissertation which is centered on the experiences of Black women former student-athletes as they transition away from collegiate sports. I am excited to join the advising team and looking forward to meeting with students.
