- Where is your hometown? How long have you been in St. Louis? At WashU?
I’m originally from Ventura, California, but have been in St. Louis for almost 20 years now. I started at WashU one month ago! - What do you do here at Olin?
I’m a Global and Academic Advisor in Olin, so I get to advise students on their programs here at WashU and abroad! - What is something that you’ve done/accomplished in your time at WashU/Olin that you are most proud of?
I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to start my time here at WashU at the same time as our class of 2028! Experiencing orientation and learning about Olin right alongside them was the best thing about my start here. - What do you like to do outside of work?
I’m a full time mother to my cat, Chiquita, who requires a lot of attention. I am an avid reader, currently reading A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon. I also am an extrovert so I love being around people – you will always catch me hanging out with my partner, family, and friends!
5. What’s your favorite thing to do/place to go in St. Louis?
I love a drive through Lone Elk Park to see the Elk and Bison, which is free! I also go to a lot of festivals and STL annual events like the Balloon Glow and Race or the Festival of Nations. My favorite restaurant in St. Louis is Lona’s Lil Eats in Fox Park, you should definitely try it!
6. Anything else about yourself you’d like to share?
I’m excited to be part of the WashU community! If you see me around, please say hello!
