I became a part of the Lindsey Wilson College family in August of 1999 when I moved to campus as a first-time freshman. At that time, I had no idea how important Lindsey Wilson College would become. After a wonderful three years as an undergraduate student in the Human Services program, I had the fortune to start working on my master's degree a year early as a part of the fast-track program. Two years later, on May 8, 2004, I graduated from Lindsey Wilson with both a BA and an M.Ed.!

My first full-time job after graduation was working for Lindsey Wilson College as a Freshman Advisor. I worked closely with underprepared freshman in order to maximize their chances of success in college. My time as a FA was wonderful, but I needed to move "home" to Henry County due to a variety of circumstances. The decision to leave LWC, my "home away from home" was one of the hardest choices I've made.

After a few years of working for the Kentucky Department of Corrections and for Cedar Lake, Inc., I learned that the Lindsey Wilson College School of Professional Counseling had opened a community campus near my home, in Louisville, Kentucky. Again, it was my good fortune to have been chosen to serve as the coordinator for the Louisville campus. After being away from LWC for several years, it finally felt like I was "home" again! I served as the Louisville campus coordinator for two years, and am now proud to serve as the coordinator at the Shelby County campus, in Shelbyville, Kentucky. I grew up in an adjoining county and was very excited to share Lindsey Wilson's mission and incredible opportunities with people so close to home.

It is my hope that as coordinator, I am able to give our community campus students the same care, attention, and encouragement that was given to me when I was enrolled at Lindsey Wilson. The Lindsey Wilson College experience is truly something special!
