Personal Biography Statement

I am an academic advisor in the School of Letters, Arts, and Sciences with a particular emphasis in the fine and performing arts. Specifically, I work closely with the Departments of Art, Music, and Theatre to ensure their students make adequate progress towards their degrees and are able to take advantage of the wide range of opportunities in the arts at MSU Denver. A working professional myself (director, actor, and singer) I understand the complexities of both academic programs and career development in the fine and performing arts.

My office is located in Arts 286A, which is in the office suite next to MSU Denver's Department of Music main office on the second floor; check my schedule below for available 10-15 minute walk-in advising times, or simply call the Academic Advising Center at 303-556-3680 to schedule an appointment.

Students interested or declared in Teacher Education in Art or Music should also schedule an appointment with the Teacher Education department at 303-556-6228.

If your general studies are completed, or you already have a Bachelor's degree, and you need advising for your major or minor courses, please contact your academic departments to meet with a faculty advisor.
