=Welcome to my Educational Leadership Wiki!=

About Me:
I earned my BA from Mercer University with a double major in English Literature and Economics in May 2007. In the fall of 07, I enrolled in the Curriculum and Instruction Masters Program at Florida Gulf Coast University. In addition, that fall I experienced my professional calling in the Division of Student Affairs. I was hired as the Graduate Assistant for Greek Life and Leadership Development. After working in Greek Life for a few months, I realized my passion for advising college students and changed majors to Educational Leadership. Due to the opportunities at FGCU, I was able to not only attain a higher level of education, but also to begin my career. The experience has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. After y first year of grad school, I was hired as the Graduate Assistant for Residence Life Training and Judicial Programs. In addition, I held an internship under the Dean of Students advising Student Government durng my last semester.

I graduated from FGCU with my Master of Arts in Educational Leadership with a concentration in Higher Education. Just before graduation, I was inducted into the FGCU Student Hall of Fame and was named the 2008-2009 Graduate Student of the Year for the university. In June of 2009 I accepted an offer to be the Coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Life in the Office of Student Activities and Leadership at Coastal Carolina Univeristy. Currently, I advise a Greek system consisting of 16 organizations, with two additional group coming during the 2010-2011 acadmic year.

I spend a significant amount of the year travelling to various schools and conferences in order to better serve the students I advise. Over the past few years, I have attended the AFA Annual Meeting, NASPA national and regional conferences, the Interfaternity Institute, ASCA natioal conference, ACUI International conference, and the Southeastern Interfraternity and Panhellenic conferences. In addition to educational conferences, one of my passions is facilitating student academies including Phi Delta Theta Recruitment Bootcamp, the Undergraduate Interfaternity Institute, LeaderShape, and several univcersity academies.

I welcome you to explore my experiences and investigate my educational and professional backgrounds, as well as develop a sense of where I would like to be in the future.
