Born and raised in Orange County, Tim found his calling in serving underrepresented, underserved, and under-resourced students. He discovered his passion for fostering inclusivity and belonging while pursuing his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). He pursued his Master of Science in Higher Education at CSUF, concurrently serving as a part-time graduate assistant in Residence Life and First-Year Experience at Chapman University in 2017.

Now, Tim has returned to his Chapman University family with zeal, assuming the role of a full-time Resident Director in RLFYE. He is deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of global citizens through co curricular learning, facilitating successful transitions toward graduation, and most importantly, cultivating a safe, inclusive, and healthy community for all students.

Tim firmly believes that every student deserves a sense of belonging and strives tirelessly to create an environment where all students feel welcomed and supported. His college campus not only served as his educational institution but also became his figurative and literal home. Now, he feels immensely privileged to contribute to shaping a community he is proud to call his new home.
