What I like about being a Maverick

One of my favorite parts about being a Maverick is the community that is developed here. The campus and Residential Life department is very supportive of all endeavors and is willing to assist as much as possible. When caring and supporting students is a departments main goal, the feeling of comfort and safety is wonderous. 


Professional Development/Involvement/Interests

One of my two main passion areas within the field is mental health / wellbeing and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). My favorite conversation to have with students, and staff, is about change and how we can better ourselves. I also enjoy discussing how to create an environment where people can feel safe and comfortable.  


Hobbies

In my free time I enjoy listening to podcasts, playing dungeons and dragons (or any ttrpg), playing video games/board games, baking, cooking, and listening to music. Most students and staff can find out if I am in the office just by hearing music come from the front desk.
