Rae graduated from the University of Utah with a B.F.A. in Modern Dance, a B.A. in Spanish, and a minor in Business. Upon leaving Salt Lake, Rae worked at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival to develop accessible programming at this long running festival. Later, she moved to DC where she worked as an arts administrator, dance teacher, and stage manager. Outside of work, Rae loves experiencing arts events and museums, traveling, reading, and creating dance work. Rae is so excited to be back in Salt Lake working with the incredible students of the College of Fine Arts.

 Advising Philosophy:

I came to academic advising because I am passionate about the value of an arts education and the advocacy of student success. As an advisor, I aspire to help students navigate the University based on their individualized needs. I value connecting students with opportunities and resources that are meaningful and important to their holistic experience.
