Interesting Fact: I think my life is like a movie so I make a new soundtrack to my life every month. I’m always in search for new music to put on them. I started making them in July of 2004, so you can do the math to figure out how many I have now!

What do you love about Simpson? I feel like I have grown up in this community. Having been a student from 1994-1998, and then on staff since 1999 I have spent most of my adult life here. The Lord has really used this community to shape who I am. I love getting to be a part of what the Lord is up to in the lives of my students. You can't come here and leave the same person. I love the community of students, staff, and faculty. Simpson University is a place where people develop into the persons God has called them to be, that includes myself. I think I have one of the best and hardest jobs in the world. The women of Cooper-Heath are amazing and add so much to my life.
