Personal Statement:
For more than ten years, I have enjoyed working for Kansas State University in various
capacities. I especially enjoy encountering students and helping them to become acclimated
to the college environment. In particular, it brings me pleasure to help others expand
their perceptions of the world in which they live and to enhance their critical thinking.
It is important that I aid students as they develop skills in written communication,
critical analysis, diversity and cultural awareness. More than anything, my goal is
to empower students to become highly engaged, empathetic, and ambitious individuals
who represent themselves and Kansas State University well.
