COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

  • Marketing Director of the Peoria Area Civic Chorale’s Board
  • Singer in the Peoria Area Civic Chorale.
UNIQUELY EUREKA EXPERIENCE:

I was drawn to Eureka due to its small size and liberal arts concentration, having majored and minored in English and History. I like that I can get to know a majority of the faculty and staff and many students and make lasting connections. I believe Eureka College can provide any student with the opportunities for new experiences that will help them grow as an individual and lead them to become productive members of society.

ABOUT:

I have a wonderful young daughter named Emma who I am teaching to love books as much as I did when I was growing up. I also love anything Jane Austen and hope to travel to England to tour the locations that inspired her novels.
