What I like about being a Maverick

I am surrounded by people and resources that care about me and support me not only as a person, but as a professional. Being a Maverick at Mankato also lives up to the name; we are encouraged to be innovative, influential, and our differences are celebrated. 

Why I chose to work at Minnesota State Mankato

This institution is progressive, forward-thinking, and open. I appreciate the emphasis on not continuing things just because that's how we've always done it if it's not working. Our students are ever-changing, so we should grow and change with them. I also value the commitment to attaining a work-life balance; although I enjoy my work, I work to live, and I have the time and resources to follow my passions outside of being a Hall Director.

Professional Development/ Involvement/ Interests

I am a member on the ADA Advisory at MSU-Mankato, and I am actively involved in the organization Association of Twin Cities Colleges & Housing Administrators (ATCCHA).

Hobbies

I enjoy spending time with my dogs, my husband, traveling, trying new food places, and reading. I also enjoy being physically active through going to the gym, hiking, and playing volleyball.
