What are your research interests?

Adult free-choice education, alumni relations, educational group travel, cognitive processes in learning, learning communities, adult educational programing alignment with andragogy and other learning theories.

What do you hope to do after you finish the MAIS degree? 

After graduation, I plan to continue in my role as the Senior Director II, Academic Enrichment and Alumni Group Travel with the OSU Alumni Association. By incorporating my new knowledge and experience within my role, we are already creating better educational programming and experience for alumni and friends. In the future, I'm interested in exploring additional consulting opportunities in needs assessment and adult education programming within higher education or the non-profit industry.
