What brought you to the University of Arkansas?

I attended the University of Arkansas for my undergraduate degree in journalism. I’m a Fayetteville native and have always wanted to come back! While I was living in Russellville for grad school, the opportunity to join University Housing came up, and I was more than happy to return to my alma mater.

Tell us a little about yourself.

I’am recently married! I don’t have any kids or pets, but I do have plenty of plants and camping equipment.
