I joke that I loved college so much I decided to stay, so it is no surprise I have been a student or worked on a college campus since 1994. I am a proud first-generation college student with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia’s College at Wise and a master’s degree from James Madison University (JMU). I currently support personal well-being services at JMU, which includes facilitating wellness coaching and supervising an amazing staff of coaches and well-being advocates. As a Motivational Interviewing (MI) practitioner, I am passionate about investing in my own proficiency, as there is always room for growth, and I very much enjoy supporting others in their development of MI knowledge and skills.
On a personal note, my partner and I met in college and have two boys who love baseball. When we are not at a ballpark, you can find us enjoying live music or tasty food with great friends.
