Biography

In my role as Curriculum Manager for Academic Programs & Experiential Learning (APEL), I develop and implement curriculum for APEL's 10+ courses to support students in the journey from college to career by helping them test out their interests beyond the classroom setting.

I also coordinate KU's Experiential Learning Certificates, which offer a great opportunity for students to get official recognition for their experiences that complement or expand upon their major degree program.

My goal in working with students is to help them identify the right path for them. That means taking into account each individual's unique personality, values, skills, and interests and exploring how those things map onto a potential career.
