I earned a BS degree in Financial Services and a master's degree in Public Administration from BYU. I began working for the BYU Financial Aid Office as a student and subsequently served as a Financial Aid Counselor for 9 years, and Financial Aid Director for 6 years. I also worked for the Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority (UHEAA), BYU's Benefits Office, TIAA-CREF, and LDS Foundation.
I am now the Manager of BYU Financial Fitness. With over 20 years of experience advising students on their financial concerns, I'm pleased to serve in this role at the university.
I also teach SFL 260, Family Finance, at the BYU Salt Lake Center. I maintain a strong professional interest in financial education and enjoy helping students plan and prepare financially for their college years and for life beyond campus.
I have 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Life is good—and busy! As a return missionary from Italy, I love all things Italian.
My favorite quote is:
Our doubts are traitors, and cause us to lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.
-William Shakespeare
