She loves directing the Core program because of its interdisciplinary nature, along with the way that Core involves cross-campus collaboration. Her love for the Atlanta community has led her to support on public realm initiatives and help organize local events, including serving as Director of Communications for Virginia Highland District Association from August 2020 to August 2023.
