Before coming to the School-Based Health Alliance, my career focused on promoting policies that provide all students with access to high-quality learning opportunities. I look forward to building off this past work by developing and promoting policies that best support school-based health centers nationwide through policy development and advocacy to further the organization's mission.

I am a former Michigander, and I received my bachelor's degree in political science from Grand Valley State University. I currently work remotely from my home in Richmond, VA. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my daughter and cheering on the various sports teams I root for.
