Biography

What would people be surprised to know about you?

For 15 years I lived closer to Kinnick Stadium than anyone.

My favorite thing about working in Admissions

There are so many great people on this campus. Iowa is an easy place to stand in front of.

Iowa City “Must Do and Must See” Locations

  • Eat a pork stick on Melrose Avenue, a game day tradition
  • Brew City at Nodo (IYKYK) then a show at Hancher

What makes Iowa such a great place?

Iowa is a great place to learn and grow. There are tons of options both in and outside the classroom. Iowa City is a culturally rich, cosmopolitan community with such positive energy. There’s something for everyone, and of course we have the Hawkeyes!
