I hold a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Health Humanities and an M.S. in Information and Communication Sciences, both from Ball State University. I currently serve as an Office Administrator for the Institute for Optical Science at Ohio State University, where I support academic programming, event coordination, financial processes, and grant-related activities. In this role, I work closely with faculty and researchers, including Nobel Laureate Pierre Agostini, and help facilitate outreach and interdisciplinary collaboration across the institute. I value teamwork, clear communication, and practical organization, and I enjoy contributing to an environment where projects run smoothly and people feel supported.
