The College of Liberal Arts feels like home to me. After earning my Bachelor of Arts in Communication from UMD I worked in the CLA Advising office for five years before earning my Master of Education degree from UMD as well. I then became an academic advisor in another collegiate unit at UMD.  In September 2015 I came back full circle and am excited to be working with the CLA Advising and Academic Services team and CLA students. I advise new undeclared freshmen as well as declared freshmen in the areas listed below. I also coordinate the needs of transfer students.
