Education

Professional Experience

My favorite part about being a Bearcat is...

I love hearing peoples’ stories. Where they came from, what makes them who they are, what is important to them, and what brought them to Northwest.

Advice for Students

Make a concentrated effort to try something you’ve never done before, go to a new place, try a new food, meet somebody new, look into a club or a class that might interest you. You just never know what new adventures/careers will come from it. 

Hobbies and Interests

I recharge by relaxing at home watching TV and movies. I also enjoy singing with my husband, attending musicals, Bearcat football games games, trying out different restaurants, or relaxing in a lawn chair on a warm sunny day.
