About Me
I became an Associate Director for the office of admission at the University of Denver after graduating from DU in 1999 with a Bachelor’s degree in communication. Previously from a small town in Louisiana, I decided to go out of state for my college education and soon became a volunteer for the office of admission as a tour guide. I enjoyed my time in higher education so much that after graduation, I continued to work with college students at the Art Institute of Colorado advising them on résumé building and interviewing skills.

I decided to join the DU admission office in 2001 and currently work with prospective DU students in the Denver metropolitan private schools, Kansas and Louisiana. I also supervises DU’s day long prospective student visit programs, including Open House and Pioneer Days. I just completed my Master’s program in Higher Education with an emphasis in Leadership and Organizational Change. I continue to stay involved in access issues by volunteering my time in local and regional organizations such as Colorado Council on High School/ College Relations and the Rocky Mountain Association for College and Admission Counseling.

When not working at DU, I enjoy taking advantage of what the Colorado outdoors and Denver city life has to offer. This summer I spent my weekends trail building the Colorado Continental trail, fly-fishing in Yellowstone, attending the Mile High Music Festival, and visiting the Denver Art Museum.  This winter I plan on snowboarding, snowshoeing, and hanging out at Stella’s Coffee shop. catching up with the fun reading I had to put off when finishing my Masters.

My Territories
I spend my time at DU working with students from the states of Kansas and Louisiana, in addition to Colorado students who attend any of the Denver Private Schools.
