What do you like most about being a Counselor at Normandale?
     The variety! Of students; of responsibilities.

If you could give one piece of advice to an incoming Normandale student, what would it be?
     "Be open to exploring different majors; be open to changing your mind."

What are your professional areas of interest?
     Mental health issues. Non-traditional learners.

Where did you grow up and what is your favorite childhood memory?
     Part of my childhood was spent in Milwaukee and one of my favorite memories is of my father frequently taking me to an amusement park where I fell in love with roller coasters!

What are your interests or hobbies?
     Reading, especially mysteries. Movies and musicals. I enjoy tap dancing!
