About Me!

I currently live in Springdale with my husband Craig, 17-year-old daughter Jules, two dogs (Elvis and Ruby), and two cats (Star and Louie). We also have a son, Jacob, who is 20 and an engineering major here at the University of Arkansas. I am a professor for the Dept. of Marketing and serve now as the faculty advisor for ROAR. As an advisor, I want to see this new RSO make a difference on our campus and the lives of many students! I have a heart for helping students make better choices to ensure their success in their academic, professional and personal lives. I feel passionate about ROAR because, as a college student, I didn’t always make wise choices when it came to alcohol consumption. These decisions led to some negative and serious consequences.

Fun Fact about me: I have been stung by a sting-ray but I still think they are amazing creatures and have swam with them even after the painful incident.

About Me!

I am a Chicago native and currently reside with my husband, Tyler, and our six four legged fur babies in Farmington, Arkansas. I am an Assistant Professor of Sport Management specializing in athlete development and experience. I am so excited and honored to be a faculty advisor for ROAR as I believe the college experience is often a foundation students build upon for the rest of their lives. Thus, I want to ensure that students are not only prepared for a successful professional career but I want students to be inspired and to understand that they have an obligation to make a positive impact on our world!

Fun fact: I am a registered yoga teacher.
