LIKES MOST ABOUT KENT STATE UNIVERSITY:

I earned two degrees from Kent State University so it feels like home to me. I first stepped foot on this campus when I was 17 and instantly knew it was where I was meant to be. Even with all the change and growth, it still feels like home. So I guess what I like most is the blend of familiar memories and future opportunities.

ATTRACTION TO KENT STATE UNIVERSITY AS AN EMPLOYER:

The opportunity to give back to a place that has given me so much is exciting. I am a product of Kent State University and proud of it. We have come so far, grown so much and strengthened our programs, outreach and national presence. It’s a great time to be at Kent State University, and I am thrilled to be part of its future.

HOBBIES:

My hobbies tend to fall in line with whatever my kids are into: blowing bubbles, craft projects, playing outside regardless of weather and pretending to be a superhero. When I do slip off on my own, I enjoy yoga, cycling and hiking, and someday I hope to get traveling back in rotation.
