Assistant Director of Alumni & Parent Relations

I work with alumni, parents, and students to help connect them with the college. My work involves programming events (homecoming, reunions, lectures, socials), communicating college news, and community outreach. Before coming to Millsaps, I was a GIS analyst at NASA for 15+ years working on environmental and emergency response projects. Outside of Millsaps, I serve on the board of the League of Women Voters (LWV) working to expand voting rights. I am married to a public school teacher, and we have two sons.
