Contact
As a lifelong Nebraskan and CoB alum, I enjoy everything that Lincoln and UNL have to offer! I have been working for UNL since 2014, first in Student Affairs and then in the College of Business since 2022. As the Associate Director in the Business Career Center, I get to help students with their career-related questions and have the privilege of coordinating our curriculum efforts. I have a passion for helping students prepare to lead successful lives after graduation, and I enjoy seeing students grow from their first year through the start of their career.
