Staff

I was born in London and have lived in various locations throughout the UK, Cyprus, and the United States.  I have also travelled extensively and have developed a passion for learning about culture and community.

I received my BA (hons) in English Literature from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, a Post Graduate Teaching Certificate from the Institute of Education in London, and my MA in Youth and Family Ministry in Tennessee. After teaching in Europe for many years, I moved to the US with my husband in 2007 and began working in higher education shortly after. Together, we joined the Baylor family in 2012, where I worked in Campus Living and Learning for several years. My passion for global communities partnered with my commitment to education led me to the role of Program Director at Baylor & Beyond LLC in May 2019. I strive to create a real home and community for the North Russell residents and I love meeting students from all over the country and the world. In addition to travelling, I like to read, cook, bake, and watch movies, TV shows, and plays. 

As the faculty director, my primary job in the hall is to coordinate our neighborhood program, mentor our neighborhood leaders, and make connections between our student groups and academic/co-curricular units on Baylor’s campus. Aside from this, I teach first- and second-year Spanish. I am also the faculty advisor for Baylor’s Gymnastics Club and Gamma Alpha Omega, a multi-cultural sorority. I was born and raised in a small Texas border town called San Juan. I left San Juan to attend Williams College in Massachusetts where I majored in English and Spanish. I speak both pretty proficiently! I received my MA in Spanish literature and linguists from Baylor. On my spare time, I like hiking, kayaking and yoga—preferably in locations abroad. My office is in Old Main 380 if ever you would like to chat. 

I was born in San Andres Island, Colombia, and for the past six years I have lived in Arkansas, where I completed my bachelor’s in business administration and later obtain my Maters in College Student Personnel Administration. Currently I have joined Baylor University as a staff member serving CL&L as the Residence Hall Director for North Rusell Residence Hall. I am passionate about serving students and helping them navigate the ups and downs of living and learning in a global community. As a bilingual staff, I look forward to connecting with other Spanish speaking members of the Baylor and Beyond LLC.

I was born in a small city in California outside of San Francisco. I went to a small Christian school in Southern California called Azusa Pacific University where I received my bachelor’s degree in Communication Management. During my time at APU, I got to serve in a number of leadership roles such as Orientation Leader and Resident Advisor. Throughout these experiences, I fell in love with serving students and creating welcoming environments for people to be known and supported as they navigate college life. 

As I pursue my Master’s degree in Higher Education and Student Affairs here at Baylor, I hope to continue to create those welcoming environments and support students in their endeavors. I love to hear about people’s stories and get to know them as individuals so feel free to reach out to grab coffee or lunch! In my spare time, I love to watch TV shows and movies, hiking, and playing guitar.

I grew up in Indiana but have enjoyed making my home and finding my place in Texas! I graduated from Baylor in 2023 with my BA in Medical Humanities and Philosophy. I loved my time at Baylor so much that I decided to stick around and work on my Master of Divinity at Baylor’s Truett Theological Seminary.

During my undergraduate years, I served as a Community Leader/Community Leader Mentor, was involved in various pre-health organizations, served on the worship team at Highland Baptist Church, and completed an internship in clinical ethics. As all of these worlds intersected, I slowly found my calling towards medicine, faith, and community and am now preparing to be a Hospital Chaplain through my seminary education. I am passionate about making sure people have a space to be seen and heard in the midst of the struggles, joys, and complexities of life. As we spend time together in community here at North Russell, my hope is that you will share your story, become known, and seek the joy of life lived together.

I am married and my husband, Drew, and I enjoy finding new ways to make and enjoy coffee, working on our pie-making skills, taking walks on campus, and creating music together.
