I have been a Falcon since 1995 when I came to the University to work on my Ph.D. in the Department of English after completing a double B.A. in English and communication at Bluffton College. In 2000, I earned my Ph.D. and began teaching full time for the University Writing Program.

At BGSU I have taught courses in first-year writing, literature, women’s studies, and lesbian and gay studies. I was named BGSU’s 2010 Master Teacher Award winner by the Student Alumni Connection, was awarded BGSU's College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Teaching Award in 2021, and was named Bowling Green Outstanding Citizen of the Year in 2024.

I am the author of Wasted: Performing Addiction in America (Routledge, 2015), Addiction, Representation and the Experimental Novel, 1985-2015 (Anthem, 2020), and the forthcoming The Embattled Academy: Staging the U.S. Culture Wars in Twenty-First-Century U.S. Drama.

I love working with students in and outside of the classroom, and I welcome the opportunity to sit down and chat with Honors students. So, whether you’re in my classes or not, feel free to stop by my office, introduce yourself and say “hello.”

I provide academic advising for Honors College students and assist with the Honors Projects process and forms.    

I am originally from Pennsylvania. I earned a Bachelor of Liberal Studies from Mansfield University and a Master of Science in college student personnel from Shippensburg University. Previously, I worked in advising, admissions, residence life and housing.

I’m the Coordinator for the Honors Learning Community and also provide academic advising for Honors College students. I have over 10 years of experience in higher education. Prior to that I worked in nonprofit college access work as well as K-12 education.

I am originally from San Jose, California. I earned my bachelor’s degrees in education and English education from Santa Clara University. I love to read, garden, hike, bake and visit museums. I’m a hobbyist photographer.

I’m the first person you see when visiting the Honors College office. I can help you with things from making an appointment with your advisor to answering any questions you may have. If I don’t know the answer- I’ll do my best to find it for you! I’m here to help the students, staff and faculty in any way I can!

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and baking lots of treats!

Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help you.

I am a dual secretary that splits my time between the Honors College/Honors Learning Community and the School of Media and Communication! I provide support to faculty and staff with event planning, appointment scheduling, marketing, roster maintenance, and numerous other administrative tasks. 

I am a proud alumna of BGSU and graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Communication with specializations in Acting/Directing and Musical Theatre. As an undergraduate student in the department of Theatre, Film, and Dance, I served as President of the theatre honor society Alpha Psi Omega and performed in numerous shows. Prior to this position, I was working professionally as an actor both on stage and on-screen. 

In my free time, my favorite things to do are have dinner with friends, binge RuPaul's Drag Race and Sex and the City, sing showtunes, and gab with my therapist. 

I am overjoyed to be back at BGSU, and hope that in my time here I can bring joy and warmth to everyone I cross paths with. If there is anything I can do to support you, do NOT hesitate to hit your girl up!
