Biography

  • Hometown: Marshalltown, Iowa
  • Degrees held: Bachelors (double major + minor), Minnesota State University – International Relations/Spanish, Latin American Studies; Masters, University of Wisconsin-Madison – English Linguistics
  • I am an Academic Success Coach because: The one-on-one connections I have with students, help me realize I have an impact on their academic success. I try to meet them where their needs are and be the person in whom they know they can turn to for help or just to tell me a success story. This, to me, is at the heart of a student-centered coach, adviser, mentor, guide, and (in some ways) teacher. For me, when I can see my student all the way through to graduation, especially if the road was bumpy along the way, is success.
  • I have four grown children, two cats, and a dog that keep me and my partner, Thomas, very busy. I love all things Sci-Fi, especially Star Trek, building Lego, cross stitching, geocaching, and listening to audio books.
