Why Clemson?:

For me, choosing Clemson was easy. I grew up in Westminster, SC so Clemson has always been close to home. I have watched the Tigers play for as long as I can remember and I have so many great memories. Also, both of my degrees are from Clemson. Having the opportunity to give back to the university that gave me a wonderful education and so many great memories is why I wanted to work here.

Fun fact about me:

I have been playing guitar since I was 12.

Professional accomplishment I’m most proud of:

Starting CUAD’s analytics program from the ground up and watching how it has positively impacted our department over the last six years.
