How you started in admission: Like many admission professionals, I was a tour guide in college. I am still adept at walking backwards. The opportunity to serve the University was the primary reason I came to Richmond. I have always admired how it truly lives up to its mission and how it continues to be a leader among top liberal arts colleges in the United States.

A memorable recruitment story: There are so many memorable recruitment stories to share, but hearing about the positive experiences of enrolled students is always the best for me.

A question you get all the time: "How's the food?" In a word: Yummy!

Hobbies/interests: Arts, athletics, automobiles, dogs, parenting, and travel
