I furthered my formal education in College Student Affairs at Eastern Illinois University where I completed two years as a graduate assistant in the Student Life Office (student programming). I was employed in my first professional position by Knox College where I was the Assistant Director of Campus Life for Residential Operations (residence life & facilities management). I then moved to Mount Pleasant, Iowa where I worked as an Admissions Counselor (admissions) at Iowa Wesleyan College. I have since moved to Davenport, IA where I am a stay at home mother.
