I was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri, and graduated from Willard High School in 1995. In the fall of that year, I moved to Columbia to attend Mizzou. It’s hard to believe I’m still here more than a decade later, but I love Columbia and am proud to call this community home. I met my husband, Andrew, in January 2004 and we got married on June 4, 2005. We adopted our first cat, Bobby, in July 2007 and can’t imagine life without him!

I love working at Mizzou and enjoy serving as the staff liaison to Griffiths. The organization brings together women from all walks of life who have such fascinating stories to tell!
