Aspen, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs and Spring Valley Campuses

Spring Valley Campus, Calaway Academic Center, Rm 155

My office serves the Roaring Fork (Carbondale, Glenwood Springs and Spring Valley) and Aspen Campuses by supporting students with documented disabilities and the college community with all accommodation and accessibility needs. I strive to ensure that students registered with my department receive equal access to all CMC educational courses and related benefits that the college provides to all enrolled members of our community.

If interested in more information regarding Access, Inclusion, and Disability Office at these campuses, please, feel free to contact me with your questions or concerns.

I am a 2016 transplant to the Rocky Mountains after being raised in the Southeastern part of the United States. My educational training has been centered on the support, emotional and academic advancement, and overall inclusion of all people pursuing a degree beyond high school.

I hold a Master of Arts Degree in College Student Development and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology – Human Services from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. I have dedicated my professional career thus far to disability access in the higher education setting, and my overall focus is to provide an equitable educational environment for students and Colorado Mountain College as a whole.
