Background

In my position, I coordinate all aspects of the Davidson Fund for Racial Equity; a 3 year granting program that provides grants for students to explore questions of racial equity through internships, research experiences and civic engagement opportunities. I also work collaboratively with the Experiential Learning Advisory Team (ELAT) on marketing, professional resource development, research, and marketing of the Catalyst initiative to raise awareness of and promote high impact experiential learning. I also oversee our Engaging in Democracy initiative to promote voter engagement, issue awareness and education, and advocacy.  

I am a graduate of Davidson College where I majored in Sociology. I also hold a master's degree from Appalachian State University in higher education administration. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the wonderful Davidson College community.
