Originally from Phoenix, I moved to Madison in the summer of 2016, and escaping the desert heat seemed like the best possible decision at the time. Fast forward a few months later, and I was learning how to drive in the snow in the back of a grocery store parking lot. It’s been quite the journey from the desert to the Midwest, but I’ve been loving all the changes and cheese curds that life has thrown at me. I love any sort of challenge or competition (just ask my four siblings), and I enjoy getting out of my comfort zone.

After graduating from the University of Arizona in 2014 (Bear Down!), I started teaching preschool and it was love at first circle time. I spent five years reading, singing, dancing, and learning before I made the switch to TPCHR. While I’m doing far less singing and dancing, I am still spending my days reading and learning more about the world of Human Resources. I’ve been enjoying broadening my horizons and working with the people on my team, and I’ve loved all the problem solving that comes with HR work. I’m excited to see how much I grow at TPCHR!

In my free time, I like to sew cross stitch projects, play card games, bake desserts, and listen to podcasts about pop culture in the 90s and 2000s. My perfect day would include eating a large breakfast, going for a hike, watching Jeopardy!, and taking a bath.
