Location: Blueprint Office

Professional Background:
I came to Blueprint with a background in education, both working and volunteering in grade schools and a daycare facility. During my third year of college, when seeking a part-time position in a design-related field, I stumbled across Blueprint Education. Although Blueprint turned out to have nothing to do with “blueprints,” I accept a position as a Student Services Specialist and have had the pleasure of working with many wonderful students since then.  It's a wonderful feeling to know you can make a difference in these kids lives...even if it is just for a moment.

Personal Life:
I am currently a graduate of Arizona State University with a degree in Design and a minor in Applied Biological Studies . My hobbies are gardening, painting, running, hiking and hanging out with my friends, family and pets!

What draws you to Blueprint Education?
After five years with Blueprint, I have become fond of the friendly network of people in this organization, the flexibility that allows me to pursue my educational aspirations, and the overall sense of caring and passion for student success that we all share.
