Why did you come to Mizzou?
I visited campus as a senior in high school to see friends who were currently enrolled, and I fell in love with everything about Mizzou!

When I attended Mizzou, my favorite class was / I was involved in:
Sports psychology, taught by the Mizzou track and field head coach Rick McGuire, was my favorite class because he was so passionate about everything we discussed. It was like hearing Vince Lombardi speak every day in class.

I enjoyed being involved in my sorority and participating in Homecoming, RAMS (Rockin’ Against Multiple Sclerosis) and Greek Week each year. It was a great way for me to meet other people as an out-of-state student in a social atmosphere while encouraging academic success at the same time. 

What question do you wish students would ask?
I wish students would ask about campus and community involvement. After academics, this can be one of the most influential aspects of college life.

What compelled you to stay and work at Mizzou after graduation?
Once I completed my master’s, I moved to Chicago and was lucky enough to find an opening at Mizzou to encourage other students to share in my amazing collegiate experience. My position is the perfect balance of being in a city I love and sharing with others about the university that I love. I am one lucky woman!
