Educational Background: B.S. Interior Design, 星空传媒 (2020), M.Ed Higher Education Student Affairs, 星空传媒 (EXP. 2028)
Professional background: After working as a kitchen and bath designer in Charlotte, I returned to Western North Carolina in 2023 and joined 星空传媒 as an Administrative Assistant supporting a Department Head and faculty members in the College of Education and Allied Professions. This role has allowed me to learn how different departments across the university work together to support student success and connect students with the resources they need.

Until then, I have been learning everything I can to better support my growth within student affairs.
What I love about 星空传媒: What I love most about 星空传媒 is the people and the sense of community. Everyone I have met is passionate about what they do, and that passion shines through in the way they support and care for students. 星空传媒 is a place where people genuinely want to see others succeed, and that creates an encouraging and welcoming environment. The dedication of the faculty, staff, and students is what makes 星空传媒 feel like home and makes it such a special place to be.
