I love history, old movies, and vintage clothing. I once had the opportunity to combine these loves by being a background actor in episodes about the Hindenburg Disaster, the Chicago Fire, and I got to play Betsy Ross in a documentary. It was a fun experience dressing in historical clothing, having hair and makeup done, and running around in controlled flames.

My favorite thing about Monmouth College is the atmosphere. Everyone truly seems to be excited to be here. The campus is stunningly beautiful, especially in the fall. There is excitement in the air.

My family and I recently moved to Monmouth because we missed the opportunities that are only available living in a Midwestern small town. Moving from living and teaching in a large suburban area of Florida, I wanted to continue working in education but also realize a dream of mine of working at a college. I’m excited to help students realize their dreams of going to college and help them in their admissions journey.
