Hometown: Prairie City, IA

What I like about my job:  I love being able to share my love for Morningside University with incoming students and helping them navigate this next step on their journey.

What I look for in a student: I look for students who are equally as excited about the college experience as we are for them to be here. College is a time for exploration and I appreciate when students are open to creating new relationships and have motivation to step outside of their comfort zone.

Hobbies: I enjoy having family time and also spending time with my friends. I love movie nights, going on walks with my dog Boone, and any opportunity I can read a good book. I spend a lot of time with my athletes and I enjoy every minute coaching them and having fun.

Favorite Quote: “Have courage and be kind”
