About Me
I am a student success advisor for the Liffrig School of Education and Behavioral Sciences undergraduate programs in psychology and addiction counseling, as well as graduate programs in counseling and social work. I met my husband at the University of Mary in 2019, and we were married in 2021. We farm and ranch together over in Menoken, where we raise American Quarter Horses and Black Angus Cattle. As a Bismarck area native, I graduated from Legacy High School in Bismarck in 2018, before attending the University of Mary for both undergraduate and graduate studies. While pursuing my grad degree, I taught 7th-grade life science at Horizon Middle School for three years.
Why I’m At MaryI am at the University of Mary due to the values and community found here. As a student, I fell in love with the University of Mary. It was only natural to come back to the University of Mary for my career to serve others.
