Glenwood, Iowa.
I moved to Council Bluffs after I graduated from college and eventually crossed the river so I could be with my true soulmates (Husker fans).
I received my undergraduate degree in Communications from Buena Vista University and my Master’s degree in Management from Kaplan University.
I worked in the casino industry for eight years and then made a weird leap into higher education in 2009. I was a registrar at Kaplan University, a records consultant at Metro Community College and an academic advisor at Midland University before coming to Clarkson College.
I had a massive surgery at Clarkson Hospital and UNMC in 2012, and while it was the worst experience of my life, every single person I worked with and who took care of me was unbelievable. I told myself then I needed to work for this company someday so that I could give back. I’ve kept my eye on the job boards ever since and finally took the leap earlier this summer and applied.
Working with students to prepare for graduation.
I love kickboxing and hiking. I go to a lot of concerts and sporting events, and I love to road trip. When I’m not doing any of that, though, I can be found binge watching anything on Investigation Discovery.
I still have my regular old Nintendo from the 80s, and I am SO good at Mario Brothers 1, 2 and 3.
