Background: I grew up in a tiny town in Iowa and did my undergraduate degree at Central College in Pella, Iowa. After getting my B.A in Vocal Music Education I moved to Greeley in 2022 to begin my graduate degree and in December of 2023 I became a proud Bear Alum with a Master’s in Educational Psychology. I am a first-generation college student who had the incredible opportunity to find my community here at UNC, and I look forward to helping future bears do the same! Outside of my time spent at UNC I enjoy being a part of the choir and theater world. I am in two different choirs and a theater troupe here in Greeley!

Favorite place at UNC: The performing hall in the Campus Commons. It is a beautiful space and there is something magical about standing on that stage. 

Favorite place in Greeley: The Moxi Theater! They always have live performances to enjoy and it is located in the heart of downtown. 

Favorite UNC fact: UNC has a 5/5 on the Campus Pride Index. The campus is an incredibly welcoming and open place, and that is reflected in our commitment to supporting all students.

Favorite Fictional Bear: I grew up reading the Berenstein Bears books with my sister, so I have to say that they are by far the best fictional bears.
