I greatly value my work here at Naropa, and specially enjoy working with students, understanding their concerns and facilitating their educational experience. I bring a background in contemplative practice and strong academic interest in comparative religion, history, current affairs and social justice issues.

I organize commencement in the spring and the fall graduation ceremony, and direct the on-campus student orientation programs. I work with students to address concerns and issues that may impact their journey as a student here.

As the diversity student advocate I attend to student needs, questions, coordinate programming and support student leadership. I am also here to work with LGBTQIA students and offer them on-campus programming and outside community connections.

I have been in Boulder since 1999. I am a graduate of Naropa University (MDiv, 2002) and a candidate for an MA in international and intercultural communications from the University of Denver.

I am excited to be here at Naropa and to be a part of an amazing and dedicated team!
