Welcome to the Heavener School of Business! As a Heavener student, you will have countless opportunities to advance in your academic, professional, and personal goals. Students in our program receive a strong foundation in areas related to academics, leadership development, international studies, and career development. These four pillars provide opportunities for success both as a student and beyond in your future career.  

As a proud double Gator, I am excited to give back to the Gator Nation in this role. I began my journey here when I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I also received my Master of Education and Specialist of Education degrees in Mental Health Counseling from UF. After graduating, I worked in a private practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I returned to the University of Florida in October 2025 as an academic and career advisor. I look forward to working with you and offering you support while you are a student here at the Heavener School of Business.  

I am eager to walk alongside you during your academic career, help tailor your courses towards your goals and interests, and cheer you on every step of the way! Once again, welcome to the University of Florida – and as always go Gators!
