Why did you pick ASU?
I picked ASU for many reasons. Since I came from a small town, ASU gave me a hometown feel and small classes while living on a large campus and meeting life-long friends. ASU also offered me a large variety of degree programs, over 130, to plan my educational journey. Another reason I chose ASU is because I knew so many successful leaders and business professionals that were ASU graduates. I learned first hand that ASU offers an excellent educational experience.

What do you love most about working at ASU?
I love the friendly and helpful faculty and staff that work at ASU. I also love the beautiful office and new facilities like the Student Union where we work. Most of all, I love helping incoming students with a smooth and successful admissions process into the university!

What is your favorite hobby? Why?
My favorite hobby is painting. I love to paint everything from pictures to furniture. I enjoy it because it’s very relaxing and allows me to be creative. It also gives me a feeling of accomplishment when I have completed my own original piece!

What is your favorite college memory from ASU?
I have so many wonderful memories from college at ASU. The first thing that comes to mind is being involved with the campus community through events like the step show which is hosted by the ASU Greek organizations. I also have amazing memories from college and I’m still making more at the ASU football and basketball games. If I had to pick just one, it would be walking across the stage to accept my diploma from ASU. ASU offers endless opportunities and fun experiences to make life-long friends and numerous memories.
