What do I do at Iowa Western?
I spend some of my time helping students register for classes and figure out their career goals. Choosing a major can be difficult; I ended up changing mine a couple times while in college so I have plenty of experience. I also coordinate all aspects of the acceptance process for IWCC’s programs.

IWCC Stuff:

I am excited to be here at Iowa Western. I am looking forward to meeting lots of people and getting involved on campus. You will see me at a lot of the athletic events cheering on the Reivers.

Favorite Link:
Stay informed of the great concerts that are coming to the area at 89.7 The River, The Cutting Edge of Rock. “River Riot” is an annual concert event in the summer that brings several big name bands to Council Bluffs for a full day of entertainment.

Fun Stuff: 

What could you not live without?
My laptop computer. I spend a lot of time checking sports scores, making changes to my fantasy football team and emailing or chatting with friends. I don’t have a fancy cell phone so I rely on my laptop for everything.

Community Service Involvement:
I have been involved with the ALS Association, helping raise money and generate awareness of Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
