 What I love most about my job is the opportunity to work with students from the beginning of their degree program until the day they walk across the stage to receive their diploma. I’m here for them throughout the entire process, giving guidance and encouragement all along the way. It is a true sense of accomplishment for the graduate and for me as well!

I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Child and Family Counseling from Toledo University and have dedicated my career to helping others stretch for and achieve their personal best. Before joining Tiffin University in 2016, I spent nearly 30 years in social work, supervision and education. I can’t imagine a more fulfilling profession or job than where I am right now. It’s always a great day to be a Dragon!

When I’m not working, I spend most of my time with my husband, our four kids and friends. I enjoy doing anything outdoors, including attending live concerts and sporting events.
