Hobbies: I’m the Public Relations advisor for the Lake Erie College Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta, and also serve as the Tiber Yearbook advisor. In my spare time I love to go to the beach, read, cheer on the Cleveland Browns and Cavaliers, and relax with my family.

Favorite thing about Lake Erie College: I love how much our students are involved on campus. There is always something happening on campus that our students have planned, and new student organizations are being created each year. Students definitely have a huge impact on the daily operations of the college, and I think they leave here with a lot more than a diploma.

Advice for students during their college search: Trust your gut! You will know the second you walk on a campus if it is a good fit for you or not. Don’t let other people (parents, friends, coaches, guidance counselors, etc..) convince you to attend a school that you know is not for you – you will find yourself unhappy and unsuccessful.
