Pro-Devo Experience

Throughout my time in graduate school I had the opportunity to engage professionally in numerous ways, through serving on leadership teams, seeking out certificate courses and by attending conferences. I made sure to stay professionally engaged, which provided an increasingly rich experience for my time in the program.

ACPA

Throughout my time in SAHE I have been able to participate within ACPA in numerous ways, and now hold a position within their Graduate Students and New Professionals Directorate Board as one of the Coordinators for Professional Development.

Inaugural Virtual Master's Student Conference

At this event I served on a panel for a session titled "How to navigate challenging times throughout your program", at ACPA's inaugural Virtual Master's Student Conference in fall of 2025; where I shared my graduate school experience and connected with peers navigating similar journeys. 

ACPA Annual Convention Experience and Presentation

I also recently attended and presented at ACPA's Annual Convention and had a great time and experience. I atteneded many great sessions revolving around leadership, student support, supervision and student mental health. I also did a great presentation on student interdepence and success with my colleagues as well.

MUSAGA - Professional Development Chair

I served as Miami University's Student Affairs Graduate Association Professional Development Chair for 3 semesters, helping to plan SAHE graduations, a summer internship panel for first year students, and made suggestions for other professional development oppurtunities to my colleagues while also helping to plan MUSAGA events.

2025 SAHE Graduation Planning

This time last year MUSAGA and myself helped to plan the 2025 cohort graduation and I had the amazing oppurtunity to help design our slide show for the program, help select a menu and secure food and drink for the event as well as help to design the set-up day of for the event. 

2025 Summer Internship Panel

For this event I welcomed members of our first-year cohort and the MUSAGA team to an engaging discussion on summer internship oppurtunities and the process for this upcoming summer. Members of the MUSAGA exec team shared important bits of information from their experiences at their own internships and answered the questions of first-year students who attended.
