About me
Who I Am
I'm the College Director at the CVCC Amherst Early College Center, a small satellite campus where I get to do the work I care about most — helping students take their first real steps into higher education. I oversee dual enrollment programming, manage faculty and day-to-day operations, and build the kind of community partnerships that open doors for the people we serve. I'm also a PhD candidate at Liberty University's School of Divinity, where my doctoral research explores forgiveness in the New Testament — specifically, the theological question of why some acts are described as forgivable, and others are not. It's deep, demanding work, and it shapes the way I think about grace, growth, and second chances in every part of my life. I believe everyone deserves someone in their corner — someone who will listen, show up, and help them figure out the next step forward.
What Drives Me
Leading a small campus means wearing every hat there is — advisor, administrator, coach, and sometimes the person fixing the printer. I love that. Small settings let you see the whole person, not just the transcript. I get to know my students by name, understand what they're working through, and meet them where they are. I'm committed to growing as a leader, not because I think I've arrived, but because the students and colleagues I serve deserve someone who's still learning right alongside them. Whether it's helping a first-generation student build a resume, walking a faculty member through a tough conversation, or staying up late pushing through another dissertation chapter — I want to be the kind of person who shows up fully.
What I Bring
My work sits at the intersection of higher education leadership and theological scholarship. On the campus side, I manage student services, faculty coordination, documentation, and community engagement. On the academic side, I'm trained in biblical exegesis, systematic theology, and doctoral-level research writing. I also have experience in career coaching, resume development, and helping students navigate the transition from community college to four-year institutions. I'm always looking for ways to connect — with other educators, with community organizations, and with anyone who shares a passion for making education more accessible and more human.
