Life has taken me across the globe, spanning from my childhood in Australia, spending my youth in Utah, and returning to serve in the Sydney Australia South mission. This led to me finding my soulmate from New Zealand, who is now a coach for the SVU rugby team. Together, we love exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains with our Doberman, Tui, and I personally love photography.

With my bachelor’s degree in social work from Utah Valley University, it has been a gratifying experience to work closely with students from my native state of Utah. To be part of Southern Virginia University is to be part of a family that is Christ-centered, strengthening, and inclusive. There is no place on the map like SVU and I hope that as many students as possible know we are here and you have a place.
