What's your background?

I’m from the small town of Latta, South Carolina but I have always had a heart for the bigger adventures that awaited me after high school. I was a member of the Honors College at my undergraduate institution, Lander University, where I received my B.S. in Sociology. While at Lander, I became involved in several student organizations and served as a Resident Assistant and then as a Head Resident Assistant. After that, I studied at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where I received my M.Ed. in Higher Education and worked as an Assistant Residence Coordinator. Prior to coming to Clemson, I served as a Community Coordinator at Coastal Carolina University. During my higher education journey, I’ve had the opportunity to serve as a Pre-College Program Proctor at Harvard University and participate in an international internship in Ireland at Maynooth University.

What do you like about working at Clemson Home?

I really enjoy the supportive relationships that I have developed with the department’s leadership team.

I am a huge movie fan, so I like to get to the movie theater as often as I can. I love a good laugh so comedies are my favorite. I also have a love for all things thrilling… rollercoasters, ziplining, etc. When I’m shopping, I always come home with a new book or a new Funko Pop to add to my collection of almost 200. When I’m at home, you’ll either find me playing a game on the Switch/PS4, spending time with my husband Sam and our fur baby Lilo, or you’ll find Grey’s Anatomy, The Golden Girls, or RuPaul’s Drag Race on the television. I’ve also caught the “travel bug” and love adventuring to new places!

What are the values that drive you?

I value strong work ethics, transparency, and respect. Honesty, doing your part, and treating others well can get you very far in life!

In my work, this can be working with chapters to create academic environments outside of the classroom, to challenging the students we work with to hold their brothers and sisters accountable for any number of things that come along living in a community space.

What do you like about working at Clemson Home?

Because the folks at Clemson Home are my Ohana. They have truly shown me the meaning of, "Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." I moved 10 hours away from home and I would not know it with the support that I have been shown within Clemson Home.

What's your background?

My background is Misty Mood by Leonid Afremov, adapted to include the Tardis and the following quote from Doctor Who, “We're All Stories in the End. Just make it a good ONE."  The Doctor.

However, I am sure the more in the box answer to this question would go something like:
I am just a small town guy, who grew up in Pocahontas, Arkansas.
Marching to my own beat, I studied at the University of Central Arkansas (Go Bears!) in instrumental music education; however, I seemed to have gotten off beat when I started working as a student in Residence Life. From there I followed my passion for working with students to the University of South Alabama (Go Jags!). Now, Moon Pies and Mardi Gras aside, to complete my M.Ed. in Educational Leadership as the Community Director for Fraternity & Sorority Housing at the University of South Alabama.

From there I was able to find my Clemson Home as the Coordinator for Fraternity Sorority Housing, and continue following my passion for working with students.

What are the values that drive you?

I value support and relationships. While these seem to go hand in hand you can have both without the other, however, when they work in harmony they truly enhance the workplace. Working with people and interacting for more than a transactional reason.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?

When I am not working, I find my harmony in life by either fostering an appreciation for (torturing my partner) Disney+, or painstakingly ensuring we keep up with any TV/Movie universes we have set out to conquer. Additionally, I like to find myself on the other side of an empty plate, either going to or from somewhere new; or one of us makes something at home, as we both like to cook! Somewhere in there I also find time to work on getting my way through different literature. I cannot say whether I am shaken or stirred, but I am building my knowledge on these things. Nonetheless, I like to travel, and one of my favorite places to go is to see my godchild.
