Favorite Part of My Job
I absolutely LOVE getting to know students on campus, coming along side them and cheering them on. Building relationships is key to success and making time to enhance relationships on campus is a way I can stay connected to students. In November of 2019, we had a group of visiting students from Japan on campus. Our family hosted two of the students over the weekend. During this time, our family really bonded with the girls in becoming their American family! We still keep in touch and one of them will become a student here in Fall of 21.
