Chair

She/her/hers

I received my M.B.A. from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota in 2008. One of my classes in that program was an international tax class that included volunteering at an IRS VITA clinic for nonresident aliens, and I've been a part of a nonresident VITA clinic for the University of Minnesota international students ever since! In 2019 I helped then-current students form NRVTAP as a student organization focused on providing tax services to support the UofM's international community. We have grown tremendously during the past few years, and I am excited to help the leadership team continue to expand the organization and services. Outside of the tax program, I enjoy gardening, beekeeping, and outdoor sports (especially the winter ones!).

After graduating from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and completing two years as President of NRVTAP in 2021, I was very happy to continue my work with NRVTAP as an advisor. In addition to serving as an advisor to NRVTAP, I work as a Mechanical Design Engineer in the Sensor industry. Outside of work and continued studies, I enjoy backpacking, reading, socializing with friends, and exercising.
