Advising, to her, is much more than explaining degree requirements, discussing courses and recommending course sequencing. To her, advising is working with students, listening and learning with them, and helping them to reach their full potential, personally and professionally. She enjoys traveling, the lake, watching sports, and anything else that involves having fun and laughing with great friends and family.
