As the Administrative Assistant in the Office of Student Engagement, I support the staff, student leadership consultants, student organizations and clubs, BOLD program, leadership development, office operations and budgets, as well as oversee the campus wide solicitations. 

I have extensive experience in higher education working in arts management in the Performance Program at the University of Chicago’s Department of Music, as well as in faculty academic affairs and student affairs at Harvard University (MA), University of Chicago (IL), Albion College (MI), and Elon University (NC).  I am also a classically trained pianist and teacher, and enjoy playing the organ and cello.  When I have extra time, you can find me connecting with friends and their furry four-legged pets, crocheting amigurumi, exploring all kinds of Asian cuisines (especially Chinese, Korean and Indian foods), plus attending all kinds of concerts, plays, musical theatre shows and art exhibitions.
