What I look for in a student: I look for students that strive to get the most out of their college experience. I like a student who wants to be involved, whether that be through joining clubs, participating in athletics or studying abroad. I look for students who are excited about the incredible transition from high school to college and show ambition and drive to succeed while also having the time of their lives.

What I love about my job: I definitely enjoy having the opportunity to be a part of such an important and exciting aspect of a student’s life. I love being able to aid in any way possible in the college search process for the student and their family. Choosing what college to attend is a very exciting transition in a young student’s life and I want to help make that process as smooth as possible!

A little about myself: I am a huge sports fan! I root for the Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, and unfortunately, the Chicago Cubs. I also enjoy staying active by running and working out as much as possible.

My interests: Sports, comedy, live music, running/working out and spending time with my family

Music: I appreciate all genres of music, but I have to say Usher, John Legend and Eric Clapton are on the top of my list of artists.

TV: Mike and Mike in the Morning, Dan Patrick Show, Pawn Stars, American Pickers and any athletic event on television.

Movies: Braveheart, Gangs of New York and Rudy

My sport/professional team: Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, and Chicago Cubs!

Cedar Rapids Favorites: I enjoy attending live music or comedy events and cheering on the Cedar Rapids Kernels.
