Hi everyone!
I am very excited to join the SAGE team as the Director! My background
is in counseling, and in my previous job, I helped folks with mental
health challenges navigate barriers to reach their educational and
employment goals. I am big believer in the power of education, and I
believe that everyone should have the access and support they need to
reach their goals. I am a graduate of Appalachian State University,
where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and my Master’s
degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. To share a little about
myself, I am recently married, and my wife, Sarah, and I have three dogs
named Luna, Hugo, and Pavlov. For our honeymoon, we went to
Scotland. Stop by my office, and I will be happy to share pictures and
stories! That was my first experience with being in a different country
and my first experience navigating things like driving on the other side
of the road, so I can certainly relate to being in a new place and learning
a new system of doing things. I am excited about learning and growing
with you all this semester, and I look forward to getting to know you. My
door is always open so please don’t hesitate to stop by!
