Biography

UMKC provides a bright and vibrant academic community that truly helps students be better prepared for a successful future. Our urban campus has a variety of diverse academic programs that utilize innovation and research to create a supportive campus life and an accessible education for all Roos! 

Kansas City is such a dynamic place that has a little bit of everything for everyone. It is a sports lover's paradise that has a city-wide passion for our Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) and Royals (MLB). It is electric on game-days and an event everyone should experience. Artistic expression also flourishes in Kansas City. We have world-class art museums, and the Crossroads Arts District is one of my favorite places to explore. My favorite thing of all, is that Kansas City truly is a four-season destination. No matter what time of year, the city provides a natural backdrop of beauty at every corner. 

I love the adventurous side of things but find joy on the simple side of walking around different parks. When the sun is out, you can find me either playing slow-pitch softball or sand volleyball with my friends, channeling my competitive spirit and sharing some laughs along the way. When it comes time to unwind and indulge, shopping is my guilty pleasure.
