    Academic Advisor and Manager of Enrollment

    Hobbies and Interest: I love to kayak although I have limited opportunities at this point to participate in this past time.  I love to watch cooking competitions (British Baking show is number one) and I love watching documentaries and movies on WWII and volcanos.

    Why I love Boise State:  I love how committed we are to student success at Boise State. We want our student to have the best experience they can while they are with us.   I love the passion our alumni have for our football team (Go Broncos).

    Advice to future Broncos: Don’t be afraid to ask, someone else has the same question.  Rumors are just rumors, if you hear something, check with official channels, don’t get caught believing a rumor that is not true.  Think about your success, not how fast you can get it done.  Stay committed to the finish line, it counts right up until the last paper is in and be proactive when every you can.

    Advice to Future Broncos: Always ask questions, don’t be afraid. Follow your educational goals and remember to have grace with yourself. Be proactive and remind yourself of your why and what spark ignited your drive to become a Nurse.
