About Me: After graduating from undergraduate, I found myself spending four years volunteering with national and international government organizations.  Since then I have worked with local government entities, nonprofit organizations focusing on providing support to underserved populations, and now nine years in admissions in higher education-- five at Augsburg. I feel I have gained various perspectives by living in multiple states and internationally. My husband and I live in the Twin Cities suburbs with our two sons, 7 and 15. I enjoy traveling--especially internationally--biking, watching movies, and anything related to trying new foods and new adventures!

Why I love Augsburg: Though I have been in higher education for nine years, I have noticed the incredible intentional focus Augsburg provides to its students to meet them where they are at. We connect and build relationships to help students meet their goals and support them along their educational journey.
