Life Story

I went to St. Cloud State University and got my undergraduate degree in Business Management, enjoyed my time there so much I stayed for my graduate degree in College Counseling & Student Development.  I worked in residential life and academic advising, but once I started guiding students in their career development I haven't looked back.

Out Of Work Obsessions

Travel.  Oddly, I've been to more countries than states, currently sitting at 35.  I enjoy it so much I actually quit my job to travel throughout Europe and the Middle East for six months before landing in Career & Internship Services.

Favorite Place in the Whole World

That's a tough one, but I think I have to go with New Zealand.  I took a 10-day road trip around the south island where the mountains and glacial lakes are breathtaking.  It's a peaceful, laid-back place, which I love, and if you're an adrenaline junkie the white water rafting and bungee jumping are awesome.

Something you Wish you had more Time for

Scuba diving.  I got certified when I was 13 years old and have gotten back into the hobby as an adult.  I have had the chance to dive in the Caribbean, the Great Barrier Reef and most recently the Red Sea when I went to Israel and Jordan.  Living in Minnesota, I never feel like I get to do this enough.

What's The One Thing You Would Do, If You Were Able To Do It?

Somehow I still have skydiving on my bucket list.
