About

I have worked at IQ since June 2017 when Heather Hazzard hired me as a Student Assistant after working for her at another department on campus. My duties have changed over the years as IQ continues to grow and change so I’ve done a little bit of everything in the administrative world. Upon graduation in May of 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Social Relations and Policy, I was fortunate enough that IQ hired me full time. When I’m not in IQ, you can find me in East Lansing enjoying a Long Island at The Peanut Barrel’s patio. I love spending time with my sisters, niece, and cat Miller.
