Originally from Minnesota, I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Spanish
at Simpson College in Indianola, IA, where I spent two semesters abroad in both Thailand
and Argentina. This time abroad sparked an interest in international education, and
after a brief educational identity crisis and a subsequent gap year as a scuba instructor,
I moved to Laramie, to pursue my Master of Arts in International Studies and Environment
and Natural Resources. I graduated in May of 2020, and have since worked in international
education at both the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and the University of Wyoming.
I strongly believe in the personal, professional, and academic value of international
experiences, and I am thrilled to be working with UWYO students who want to take their
education global.
In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors with my husband, Austin, and our dog, Wombat.
Hiking, biking, skiing, camping, and running are some of my favorites! If I’m not
on the trails, I’m probably perusing local artwork at Works of Wyoming, or hunting
down the perfect post-hike breakfast burrito.
