Advisors
The advisors support RHA and the Area Councils. In addition to their daily jobs within UHDS, they support our work for you!

This includes serving as an advisor for our area councils, NRHH and RHA along with the implementation and assessment of our residential curricular initiatives. I’m from the great state of Michigan and love a great book, great movie, great tv show, and great lake!
I serve as the Area Director of Engagement. I advise the RHA and NRHH and oversee the Area Council Program which provides campus wide events and leadership opportunities for residents! I grew up in Washington State and truly love all things PNW; coffee, rain, and hikes! I enjoy singing, video games, and learning new things!
