Hometown: Cushing, IA

Education: Bachelor of Science in Business and Economics, Morningside College, 1999

Recruitment Area: I recruit students from northwest Iowa, and the northeastern states.

What I like about my job: I have called Morningside “home” for little over a decade now; first, as a student and now as an employee in the Admissions Office. I have an immense amount of pride for this institution and sincerely have a passion for the work that I do. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work with students and their parents and aid them in the college search process. I feel that my personal experiences at Morningside have given me a great deal of depth in working with students and guiding them in finding their “fit.”

What I look for in a student: I look for students who are excited and energized about college and are ready to begin a new adventure and explore their independence. Morningside is truly an amazing place that has so much to offer students, regardless of what their interests might be.

Go Mustangs!
