ACADEMIC ADVISING COORDINATOR
November 2017-January 2022
I was an advisor in an academic advising office and loved every minute of it of my 4+ years there. In that role, I worked with students exploring majors (and later with those interested in careers in healthcare fields) and developed skills in content creation, public speaking, and teaching.
ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR, MAJOR AND CAREER EXPLORATION
For two years, I taught elective classes at the University of Utah: UGS 1050: Major Exploration and UGS 1020: Intro to PreMed/PA.
August 2019-December 2021
TESOL CERTIFICATE
May 2019-December 2021
After completing my master's, I missed school and was also becoming more interested in teaching. Eager to gain formal training in this field and also dive further into my love of language, I completed a non-credit certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
TESOL TA
August-November 2021
As part of my TESOL certificate, I completed a practicum at Horizonte Instruction and Training Center in Salt Lake City, UT. I lead discussions and exercises to a group of 10+ intermediate to advanced adult learners.
EDITOR, WRITER
​October 2019-December 2020
​For over a year, I worked for the volunteer-run U2 news site, @U2.com. Check out my News Articles page for more information on my time as a writer and editor.
MA, ENGLISH—PROFESSIONAL WRITING
My MA is also from NAU. I completed my degree entirely online and graduated summa cum laude.
October 2016-December 2018
COMPUTER TECHNICIAN
April 2017-November 2017
After completing my CIS degree, I worked as a computer technician in an academic advising office. Discovering the ins and outs of technology is something I have always enjoyed and always will, but after seeing the opportunities that advisors have to directly help college students, I shifted to a career in that.
BSBA, COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS (CIS)
I attended Northern Arizona University (NAU) and graduated summa cum laude, completed NAU's Honors Program (now college), and was named the Outstanding Senior CIS student for Spring 2016.
