About

They say time flies when you are having fun. I can honestly say that it is a true statement. I started working full-time at Northwest Missouri State University in April 2000. The last 25 years have flown by and I can honestly say it was because I was having fun.

After I graduated from Northwest, I worked in Northwest's Office of Admissions, scheduling campus tours for future Bearcats. In 2002, I joined the Office of University Advancement as a member of the Alumni Relations team. For 16 years, I held many positions in Alumni Relatitions before becoming the Advancement Database, Research and Communications Specialist in July 2018. In November 2024, I was named Director of Advancement Services. I am responsible for keeping alumni and donor records updated, working closely with the development team on donor and prospect research and providing support to the Annual Giving program. I also manage the donor scholarship agreements and award processes for privately funded scholarships. 

I am from Stanberry, and grew up in a large family, that keeps growing. I enjoy reading, walking, golfing, spending time with my family and friends, attending my nieces and nephews events and cheering on the Bearcats!
