Duties:
I coordinate our freshmen orientation program 'Phase I' and our fall Orientation program 'Phase II.' I also work with students who have not yet selected a major.
Background:
I was born and raised in St. Croix Falls, WI . I completed by BBA in Human Resource Management from the University of Minnesota, Duluth in 1994. In 1998 I received my Master's in Counseling with an emphasis in Higher Education from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I currently live in Menomonie with my husband, Darrin, and our two children, Carly (age 5) and Cole (age 2). My husband works at UW-Stout.
Past Employment:
1990-1994 I held a variety of student affairs positions as an undergraduate student
Resident Advisor, Coordinating Resident Advisor, Peer Mentor, Peer Adviser, and Orientation Assistant ( UMD ).
1994-1996 Residence Hall Director ( South Dakota State University )

Interests:
Most of my free time is spent with my two children. I am also currently taking courses for my doctorate in Career and Technical Education at UW-Stout and soon at the University of Minnesota in their Work and Human Resource Education program. So when I'm not studying or spending time with my family, I enjoy getting together with friends and going out to dinner. I also try to find time for exercise a few times a week.
Were you undeclared?
I'm afraid not. My entire family had either studied education or business . I started in business and once I found which classes I was most passionate about (Psychology and Women's Studies) I felt too far into my program to change. The good news is that I have always been most passionate about people and get to help people daily in my current job.
Something fun!
I love college campuses. Wherever I travel I try to take advantage of seeing as many college campuses as I can. Luckily my husband feels the same so we often go exploring on our trips together. There is something special about life on campus. I'm sure the interest is also fueled by the fact that I lived on campus for ten years of my life. I guess I'm in the right line of work since I still get to spend all day on campus.
