Â鶹´«Ã½

Hometown: Columbus, Ohio

Degrees: B.F.A. (Shawnee State University)

Undergraduate major: Visual Arts

What I love about my job: I love being part of the Office of Admission team. With my colleagues by my side, it is exciting to assist prospective students in their journey to higher education.

What I love about Â鶹´«Ã½: Collaboration. Whether it is in school, work, or personal life, Â鶹´«Ã½ians are always willing to collaborate. And this approach has allowed our students to have truly unique learning experiences, coworkers can streamline their workload, and non-profits are able to blossom.

Hobbies/activities: I’m grateful to be able to give back to my community by being actively involved. My family and I volunteer at our local animal shelter (PALS) every Saturday morning. I serve on the LINK Mentoring board, as well as the Â鶹´«Ã½-Newburg School Foundation and Â鶹´«Ã½ United Way. I will also never pass up the opportunity to take a nap, preferably with a cat on my lap.

Advice about searching for schools: Ask for advice. Talk to your school counselor, family, and friends. You may find they suggest a school not on your radar. I urge you to look within and find a campus that truly suits your interests.

Advice about applying to schools: Be aware of deadlines. Consider creating a spreadsheet with important dates to keep yourself organized. Good luck!
