This is my second year as a Hall Director at Truman State University and I am so excited to be here!  I am originally from Parkville, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City and I love my hometown (Go Chiefs!).  Currently, I am working on a Master's in Public Health through A.T. Still University's School of Health Management.  I am a Truman Alum and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in English.  As a Truman student, I was involved with a number of organizations.  I was a part of Residence Life all four years through Hall Senate, RHA, and being a Student Advisor as well as a Community Coordinator.  In my free time, I love finger painting, being outside, swinging at the park, and baking. I can’t wait to meet all of you, and I am really looking forward to this being a fantastic year!  Go Ryle!

This will be my first year as a Community Coordinator at Truman State University after working two incredible years as a Student Advisor in both Ryle and Missouri Halls.  I hail from Columbia, Missouri just a quick ninety mile jaunt south of Kirksville.  I am currently in the final year of my program to earn a Bachelor of Science in Economics and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration: Management. After graduating, I plan on using the skills I have learned while living at Truman State University in the business field.  As a current Truman student, I am and have been involved in many organizations on campus, including Residence Life for the past two years through NRHH and as a Student Advisor, Campus Crusade for Christ, SIFE, and HvZ.  I am an avid runner, though not very fast, and have successfully completed two marathons as of last Spring.  I am looking forward to meeting all of you and cannot wait to share the Ryle Spirit with all of you!
