Biography

What would people be surprised to know about you?

I swam with penguins and sea turtles in the Galapagos Islands and even had the chance to meet Lonesome George, the last of the Pinta Island tortoises.  

My favorite thing about working in Admissions

I absolutely love being able to help students through the admissions and college search process. It is an exciting time and I love that I get to be a part of that journey and make it as easy and as enjoyable as possible for students and families.

Iowa City “Must Do and Must See” Locations

The feeling you get during an Iowa Hawkeyes Football game in Kinnick Stadium is magical, especially now with the new tradition of The Wave. Be sure to also stop by Heirloom and Java House where you can grab a tasty lunch, a fun pastry, and delicious coffee all in one stop.

What makes Iowa such a great place?

The University of Iowa is the perfect mix of academic opportunities, arts, athletics, personalized opportunities, and fun! Plus, the school pride is palpable!
