Regions I serve: West (minus California)

Year I joined Baylor: 2022

My Baylor Story: When my daughter began searching for a Christian university with strong academics, she chose Baylor in 2016, and it quickly became a family tradition. Her two younger brothers soon followed, and all three are proud Baylor Bears. During that time, I was actively involved with the Phoenix-area Parents in Prayer group, which deepened my connection to the Baylor community. So, when Baylor looked to expand its National Engagement team to the West, I was thrilled to come on board. It’s truly a blessing to serve alongside the Baylor Family here in the West and help connect fellow Bears!

Hometown: Scottsdale, Arizona

Favorite thing about Baylor: The amazing community! Baylor gives you an instant family of friends, professors, and staff that truly care about each other. Philippians 2:3-4 says, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others." This verse reflects the heart and community of the Baylor Family.

What Inspires Me: Family and friends, connecting with people and hearing their stories, reading Scripture, experiencing God’s beauty in nature.

Favorite Hobbies: Hiking, reading, pickleball, spending time with my family, traveling to new places, eating dessert, and drinking iced tea.

Fun Facts About Me: I love to visit National Parks, I’m a Phoenix native.

My Advice for the Baylor Family: Get involved and dive into the Baylor Family! There are many opportunities to engage, connect, and grow during your time as a student, parent, or alumni at Baylor. Attend events, volunteer to help, get involved, and you will be blessed!
