A&S Wired Students in partnership with the VIP Center, Department of Gender and Women's Studies, and College of Arts & Sciences gathered in Keeneland Hall and created bandanas to raise awareness and support of people experiencing exploitation in communities both near and far.
I’m originally from Havelock, North Carolina. However, I now call the beautiful city of Lexington my home. I’m a proud graduate from the University of Kentucky in May 2011. I received a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and completed three minors in Communication, History, and Geography. During my time as an undergrad I established myself as a UK Tour Guide and a Summer Advising Wildcat Assistant. These positions helped me realize my passion for this amazing “See Blue” community eventually guiding me toward being a UK Recruiter for the Chicagoland area. After working as a UK Recruiter for two and half years I transitioned into my current role as A&S Recruiter and Retention Coordinator.
1. What do you do in your spare time?
I really enjoy ‘adventure running’ (basically I register for all of races that involve mud, obstacles, electricity, zombies, etc). Last year alone I ran two half marathons and seven adventure runs.
If I’m not running you most likely find me playing volleyball. I typically play 4-5 times a week at the Bluegrass Volleyball Club.
I was born and raised in Lexington, KY. I graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2012 where I earned my BS in Community Communications and Leadership Development (Agriculture Communications). I began working at UK in 2010 as a student worker in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. I moved to STEPS in 2012 before becoming an employee in the College of Arts and Sciences this past June. I will be married a year in August to my husband Matt and we live here in Lexington. We have a 7 year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie named Oliver.
Originally from the Cincinnati area, I moved to Lexington where I completed a BA in Hispanic Studies. After undergrad I returned to Cincinnati where I worked in global marketing for Procter & Gamble, but decided to complete my MA in Diplomacy and International Commerce. During my graduate program I worked in the research unit for sub-Saharan African Studies at the Foreign Service Institute in D.C. and after at the Center for Poverty Research at UK prior to my time at A&S. 
I was born in Danville, KY and lived there until 2003. I moved to Lexington in 2003 after graduating Centre College where I earned my BS in Biology. I then attended the College of Public Health (’06) here at UK to earn my Master’s of Public Health (MPH). I began working at UK in 2005 for the College of Pharmacy and last year (2013) started working for the College of Arts & Sciences. I have been married for almost 9 years to my wife Marianne and we live here in Lexington. We have a son, Thomas, who is 4 years old. We also have a dog named Sophie, and two cats, Bell and Alley.1. What do you do in your spare time? Spending time with family is my number one spare time activity. We love to travel and take our little boy to zoos and museums. We all also love going to Disney World.
Currently the center's Women's Circle Endowed Chair and a professor in the UK Department of psychiatry, Diane R. Follingstad reaffirmed the center's focus on violence prevention research.
