Bio
I currently serve as the Director of Graduate Recruitment for the College of Engineering at The Ohio State University. I serve as a co-advisor for the TEDxOhioStateUniversity student-led organization on our campus. This event is entirely student-run and everything from the fundraising to the event planning is handled by an incredibly talented group of undergraduate students.
I'm passionate about
Access to higher education, diversity and inclusion in the academy, providing tools and resources for students to pursue advanced degrees.
An idea worth spreading
The Value of Graduate Education
The TED story
I was exposed to my first TED Talk in a graduate course in my Masters program for Higher Education and Student Affairs. At that moment, I knew I wanted to be more involved. I've been advising the TEDxOhioStateUniversity student group for the past 5 years and am continually amazed by the power of students and their ability to spread ideas.
