Bio

I was in Bremerton, WA, and began my cross-country journey by attending Montana State University for a Bachelors in English Education. From there, I proceeded to serve a mission in Central Florida just before attending Central Michigan University for a Masters in Children’s and Young Adult Literature. My professional journey included internships with social justice organizations (Peer Seattle and the Society for the Study of Sport, Society, and Social Change) and also working in K-12 as well as Higher Education. New to Brockport and New York in general, I’m very excited to be a part of this wonderful campus and village community.
