HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

After graduating with an English degree from Hillsdale College in May 2023, I am excited about working at the CCO before I get a graduate degree.  I am very blessed to be able to benefit Purdue in helping students find meaningful connections and careers.
 
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT WORKING AT THE CCO?

I love the kindness of the people with whom I work, the fun peer consultants, and the meaningful relationships built with students and CCO consultants - and the frequent free food!
 
WHAT IS THE MOST UNUSUAL JOB YOU HAVE EVER HAD?

Every summer during high school I was a volunteer dish washer for an environmental science institute buried in the woodlands of Northern Michigan, so that was pretty neat.
 
ADVICE FOR STUDENTS:

Always challenge yourself to do more than what you think is possible - you'll be amazed by what you can accomplish and the meaningful connections you'll make along the way.

My favorite things include (and are not limited to) old books, my husband, playing piano, and popcorn!
