Hello! I have worked at Helena College for a little over three years and I’ve had the pleasure advising students in their academic journey. As the Assistant Director of TRIO & MT10, I get to work on program elements and be creative with the events we implement. I love exploring Montana and playing outside. I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, camping, and paddle boarding. My professional experience is in Residence Life and Student Activities, and I have my Master’s degree in Student Affairs. I love working with TRIO and MT10 students, especially when I get to know their story and their “why” behind the “what.” Thank you for letting me join you in your journey!

Hello, it is my privilege to work as the TRIO Coordinator at Helena College. I have spent my career in education. I was an elementary educator for many years, and now I am honored to work with learners at the college level.

 I am a Helena native and enjoy all the beauty this city has to offer, especially the incredible trail system. I love hiking with my golden doodles, reading and spending time with my husband and three college kids. Please stop by and say hello. I can’t wait to get to know you!
