About
What has been your career path?
After graduating from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in Secondary Education, I began my career as a teacher at Ypsilanti Community High School, teaching Writing Foundations and Special Education. I then became a Mentor Teacher at Green Apple Playschools, coaching educators and building systems to support staff through high-stress moments. In November 2023, I returned to the University of Michigan as a Faculty Support & Office Assistant in the Department of Psychology. I moved into the role of Curriculum Maintainer in May 2024, coordinating course scheduling and curriculum operations across six academic areas. In November 2025, I became Graduate Program & Curriculum Coordinator, advising students on academic, policy, and funding matters and partnering with department leadership on program strategy. In August 2026, I became Undergraduate Program Manager for the Department of Psychology, bringing together everything I've learned about curriculum, advising, and student needs. It has been a privilege to build a career within Psychology and to continue serving the students and colleagues who make this community what it is.
What is your favorite part of working for the Psych Department?
My favorite part of working for the Psychology Department is the wide range of people I get to work with — students, staff, faculty, and college leadership— each bringing their own perspective and needs to the table. I especially love supporting my fellow staff members, whether that's helping a someone navigate a policy question or just being a resource when things get busy. There's a real sense of community here and willingness to collaborate that makes even the most complex work feel manageable. Being part of a team where everyone is genuinely invested in each other's success is what makes this work so rewarding.
What do you like to do for fun outside of work?
Outside of work you can find me either working on a ceramic or sewing project, writing letters, reading, or cooking up a multi-course meal for friends!
