I graduated from Carthage College in Wisconsin with a B.A. in History and minors in Asian Studies and Great Ideas. After graduation, I was selected as a Fulbright Scholar to India. While in India, I conducted research on the monks of the Kabir Panth, an Indian religious community. I also served as a Fulbright Alumni Ambassador. In this role, I had the opportunity to promote the Fulbright in a variety of venues and converse with a range of applicants in person and through email and social media.
In my current role as a Program Coordinator for National Fellowships and University Scholars, I advise and encourage students interested in applying for national fellowships, such as Fulbright, Rhodes, or Truman. I also coordinate activities and seminars for the University Scholars Program and provide general Honors advising. As an avid reader and traveler, I am happy to help students to think deeply and be involved in transformative experiences.
