Penn Stater since:
I was a Penn State student in the late 80’s. After a couple of years in Atlanta I took my first Penn State job as an Admissions Counselor. The College of the Liberal Arts gave me a start in advising which I did for 10 years. Then to add a little twist to my professional life, I went to the Finger Lakes School of Massage and became a licensed massage therapist, and took on the role as that school's registrar. As often happens, I have come full circle. I find myself back home and working as Associate Director of Operations and an academic adviser for the Division of Undergraduate Studies.
What an amazing opportunity I have as an Academic Adviser…I get to talk with Penn State students as they create and “mold” their academic story.
I have two dogs - a Chocolate Lab named Flora and a rescue puppy named Stone. What makes them the happiest is a run in the woods, popcorn and romaine lettuce stems.
My favorite job growing up was Camp Counselor at Krislund from 1981-1986.
In my spare time. I love to trail run. I also love cross-country skiing, mountain biking, motorcycling, and just plain wallowing in the outdoors.
My favorite things to eat are hot Buffalo chicken wings.
