The U.S. News & World Report recognized Baylor as #4 in the nation for First-Year Experience. Although this is certainly a division-wide institutional effort, we want to recognize the hard work of New Student Programs, Student Activities, and Campus Living & Learning. Without the collective efforts of many, we wouldn’t be here. Now, let’s take down Elon.

Fun/Interesting Fact: “Earlier this year, I attempted to learn how to swim, but it was too difficult—I couldn't float even after practicing twice a week (1.5 hours each session) for six weeks. That’s when I realized swimming wasn't for me. However, I’ve become a champ at a game I recently discovered: Pickleball.”
What are you looking forward to most about working at Baylor? “I look forward to the chance to grow both professionally and in my faith and spirituality openly—something rarely available in the United States higher education system. Overall, I have really enjoy my staff and community, and it feels like Baylor is a place I would love to remain at for a long time.”
