I’m a South Carolina native from Manning, and I currently reside in Irmo. I began my college journey at Oglethorpe University and transferred to the University of South Carolina where I received my B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communications. I love helping people and serving actively at my church Right Direction Church International.

I grew up in the town of Irmo, South Carolina which is minutes away from Columbia. I graduated from Irmo High School and then completed my bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies at Columbia College (Class of 2016). I typically spend my free time with family and friends attending sporting events or just hanging out. At home, I enjoy taking care of our mini farm or reading a book.

I am very excited to join Columbia College as the Graduate Admissions Coordinator. I have received both of my degrees at Columbia College and it holds a special place for me. I'm happy to share my experiences with new Graduate students!

I'm a South Carolina native and I love to take day trips to Charleston and other places around the state. When I'm not working or traveling, I try to watch as many basketball games as I can. 

I hope you enjoy your adventure at Columbia College! 

Having eloped in Myrtle Beach and vacationed in SC a least a dozen times,  my husband and I said we would one day move to South Carolina. We landed here on February 28, 2020.  While the timing of our arrival was not ideal, we love our decision to make this our permanent home. I was born and raised in VERY northern New York State in the region called the Thousand Islands. If you wondering ....yes, the birthplace of Thousand Island dressing. 

My first adult career was a NYS Licensed Optician and Contact Practitioner. Next I moved into higher education. My 30 years of experience includes teaching, academic advisor, orientation coordinator, enrollment management, registrar and higher education tech sales. 

I was born and raised in the small town of Olar, SC and I am a high school graduate of Blackville Hilda High School. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of South Carolina Beaufort. My parents are both educators and I am a huge proponent for education.  I have a background in theater and acting, I minored in theater at USCB and have done several on stage productions and background acting in film. I love the position of admissions counselor because I can talk to those who are wanting to make a positive change in their lives and are interested in pursuing the path of education. I am so glad to be here at Columbia College where I feel I can make a difference in the world!
