Senior Quad Advisor - Crowell and Keohane
Schedule an Advising Meeting
As a Senior Quad Advisor, I work with students to help them get the most out of their Duke experience. I guide them through academic planning, connect them with resources, and point them toward opportunities that align with their goals. My role is to be a consistent support as students make both big and small decisions, while sharing up-to-date information about programs and opportunities at Duke.
My path into higher education began with my own undergraduate experiences, which sparked a passion for community-based projects and hands-on learning. That interest led me to earn a PhD in English, where I focused on high-impact practices such as service-learning, global learning, and civic engagement. At Duke, I have worked with students as a team lead for several Bass Connections projects and as an instructor for a brand storytelling course in the I&E program.
Before coming to Duke, I was a faculty member in English and taught courses that combined classroom learning with community engagement. I founded an after-school literacy program where undergraduates worked with local children on creative projects, led neighborhood oral history projects, and partnered with a local church to secure grant funding for career workshops for women. These experiences continue to shape how I advise students, encouraging them to choose courses and programs that connect their academic interests with communities and issues that matter to them.
