"I love how we can see the difference we make through our roles."
What is your favorite thing about NKU?
I love how we can see the difference we make through our roles. Not many people can say that. The best feeling is getting an email from a former student excited about an internship they received after taking my class or having a Career Path Coaching appointment with me.
Where is your favorite spot on campus? What makes that spot so special?
I don’t get to do it often, but I love having lunch by Loch Norse Lake. It is a great vantage point if you haven’t taken the time to do it. I challenge you to take the 30 minutes out of your busy day this spring or summer and have lunch on a bench near the lake. It’s a nice little escape from your office. Just watch out for the geese!
What’s the first word that comes to mind when you think about NKU?
Home. I went to my undergrad (bachelor’s in PR), graduate school (master’s in communication), and now in the Ed.D. (Educational Leadership) program here. No matter the program or the building I enter, I feel at home.
What is your favorite way to spend your free time?
Spending time with my family. My husband’s name is Kenny and we have three little kiddos-Adeline (5), Evelyn (3), and Mason (1). They keep me busy and are the spark in life! My goal is to be an inspiration to them. We just purchased a camper and we’re excited for adventures!
What is your greatest passion?
I love reading and writing. This is what has brought me back full circle to NKU and now pursuing my Doctorate in Educational Leadership. I am also on the Board of Directors for Adopt a Book–a program devoted to giving kids access to literacy.
