I'm at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ because...
ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ has been a huge part of my life ever since I stepped onto campus as a first-year student in the fall of 1994. I immediately fell in love with the beautiful campus, the engaged students, and the kind & genuine people who work here, and all of those feelings remain true today. I enjoy working at my alma mater because it provides me the opportunity to give back to an institution that I love dearly, and whose mission as a Christian university is one that I support wholeheartedly. The world needs ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ graduates, and I feel blessed to play a part in the life of this amazing institution.
Development matters because...
I started my career at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ in 2010 in the Career & Professional Development Center. Throughout my time as a career counselor, I was continually impressed by the quality of our students, and this feeling was reinforced further by the many employers I interacted with, who constantly told me that their ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ hires were among the top performers in their organizations. My work as a career counselor enabled me to see first-hand the dedication, professionalism, and commitment to service that our recent graduates brought with them to the workplace. So when an opportunity presented itself to join the Office of Development, I jumped at the chance to assist current and potential donors understand the value that ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students and alumni provide to the world outside of Grantham. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ could not produce such high-quality alumni without the support of its donors, and I am grateful to be able to interact with so many incredible individuals who share my belief in the importance of a ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ education.
These things are important to me:
Faith, family, and fun! In that order.
