Title: Patient Advocacy Coordinator
Department: Health Service
Where are you from? Atlanta, Georgia
What brought you to Student Affairs? I recently moved to Chicago from Atlanta to enjoy some colder weather:) In conducting my job search, I wanted a role that utilized the knowledge I gained during my time in hospital administration and kept me working with patients. My role at Health Service allows me to work with students as patients, helping them to navigate our complex healthcare system.
What can’t you live without? I could not live without chocolate chip cookies, coffee, and iced tea.
How do you like to spend your free time? I enjoy spending time outdoors, walking, running, hiking, and camping. I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending way too much time learning all the details of a very obscure topic.
What’s your favorite spot on campus? I love the view from the path along the lake behind Norris. It makes a great walking trail even when the weather is cold.
