First Impression of Manhatan
Purple Power. The purple emphasis was a touch overwhelming at first. Now we happily don our purple shirts and enjoy the fun of being part of an enthusiastic community of KSU supporters.

Favorite Pastimes
Involvement in campus, church, and community activities, weekends exploring Kansas, coffee at a local coffee shop, & cozy evenings at home.

On Academic Advising
I see myself as a facilitator helping students decide what career they want to pursue then providing them with the information needed to get there. To be an effective facilitator, I try to stay abreast of the professional schools' requirements and KSU resources.

Interesting fact
I love to dance.
