I serve as the Dean of Students and Title IX Coordinator at MSUM. My goal is to support students as they navigate student life and potential challenges they may experience. I work with resources related to Basic Needs, CARE Team, Case Management, Counseling Services, Housing & Residence Life, Recreation & Wellness, Student Conduct, and Student Union & Activities. I grew up in southwestern Minnesota, graduating from Russell-Tyler [now RTR] High School. I earned a B.A. in English and Communications/Business from Augustana University, an M.S. Counseling and Student Affairs from MSUM (Go Dragons!), and a Ph.D. in Education from NDSU. I have worked in a variety of areas over the past 30+ years, including residence life, student activities, service-learning, LGBTQIA2S+ programs, multicultural programs, DEI, and Title IX. I love being part of the Dragon Community!
