How many years have you been at IC?:
I've been at Illinois College since the Fall of 1998.
What do you like about working at IC?:
I get to help teach students real life skills and assist them throughout their development in college. I’m always amazed at the level of dedication our students have. Through IC Connections, I get a direct connection to helping others integrate into our exciting and welcoming community.
Community Service, Hobbies, Interests, etc.:
I’m involved in a wide variety of community service opportunities through the IC Connections program - Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army and more. On campus I serve as an advisor to the Illinois College Environmentalists and Alpha Phi Omega (co-ed service fraternity). In terms of hobbies and interests, right now I’m focused most on my family. We have two wonderful daughters that keep us very busy!
