Personal Note:

I am a graduate of Riverdale High School and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UW Oshkosh. While in college, I took on a part-time role assisting first-generation freshmen students. Working closely with these students ignited my passion and dedication to helping individuals access the opportunities higher education offers. As a recruiter at Southwest Tech, I continue to channel my enthusiasm for education by providing guidance and support to prospective students. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, reading, listening to live music, and watching sporting events.
