Hometown:  Rozetta, Illinois

Education:  B.A., Government, Classics, French, Monmouth College, 1993.

Territory:  I work with transfer students coming from all parts of the country. I also work with first-time freshman and transfers who wish to enter Monmouth College in January. Most recently, I have begun work with prospective international students and students coming from Puerto Rico. Finally, I also oversee readmission for any former MC student who wishes to return.

Best experiences at MC:
Kappa Kappa Gamma – My involvement with Kappa was and continues to be a huge part of my life. Participation in a sorority enabled me to gain valuable leadership and communication skills through the various offices I held in the chapter. Today, I continue my involvement as chapter advisor at Monmouth College. It’s a very rewarding experience to get to work with bright, energetic, motivated and caring young women!

Liberal Arts - I loved the fact that I was challenged to take course work out of my comfort zone. I came in to Monmouth thinking I was going to be an English Teacher. When I came out, I had a major in Government with minors in Classics and French. My favorite classes included Professor Haq’s Politics of Islam, Professor Suda’s Russian Literature and Sienkewicz’s Classical God and Heroes.

Christmas Convocation at Monmouth – This is my favorite event of the year. It brings together everyone in the campus community – students, faculty and staff – to celebrate the season and its meaning. The sound of the Chorale is spectacular. Looking around at others at the service always reminds me how much of a family I have here at Monmouth.

Please call or email me anytime!  I’ll be glad to help with your questions!
