I am the Student Support and Records Specialist for the Department. I schedule classes, record internship information, enter student concentrations and overrides, annual assessment reporting, and more!
What brought you to Animal Science?
This opportunity became available when I was wanting to move from North Carolina back to Knoxville. I enjoyed all the people I met in the Department and the work environment in general and knew that’s where I wanted to be!

Getting to watch students succeed over the school year! I’m happy to be able to help them out in any way I can.
What is your favorite activity outside of lab/work that makes Friday a day to look forward to each week?
Sitting outside on the patio by the river or walking down the street to a restaurant for dinner. If the weather is bad I love to watch Netflix or play video games.
