I began my career in academic administration as an undergraduate at UT-Austin, where I served as a peer advisor for three years in the Department of Philosophy. After graduating, I worked in the same department first as the Office Manager and Assistant to the Chair (the youngest person in the College of Liberal Arts to hold that title) and later as the Academic Advisor and Undergraduate Program Director. I worked in the Student Affairs Dean's Office at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and later served as the Academic Advisor & Undergraduate Program Administrator for the Department of GNS+ at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
As a faculty member at Norwich University, for four years I served on and chaired for a year the Curriculum Committee for the Department of Global Humanities (the largest department on campus in terms of faculty and programs), during a time in which nearly all of our programs were significantly revamped. I was a member of the Undergraduate Advising Council for five years and served as Interim Advising Co-Coordinator. In these roles, I have helped to plan and execute advisor training, craft advising resources, develop advising assessment tools, and broadly worked to shift Norwich’s advising culture away from a transactional advising model to one reflecting the standards of NACADA and current advising literature.
In my current role as an Advising Fellow at UVA, I provide academic support to students in the advising-as-teaching model that is integrated into our first-year curriculum.
