Director of Admissions and Student Life

"The great thing about being in Admissions is the opportunity to see people grow as they enter college until the time they leave, it’s exciting and satisfying."

@ Hawkeye

I am the Director of Admissions and Student Life. I oversee the daily operations of admissions, recruiting, student activities, and wellness.

I have been at Hawkeye since August 2004.

My most memorable moment at Hawkeye happened at an Experience Hawkeye event. A high school student sang her high school fight song and had an incredible voice.
