Favorite Thing About WVU
The endless opportunities for students at WVU! With nearly 360 majors, over 500 organizations and clubs, and the beautiful state of West Virginia as a backdrop, every student can mix up their perfect recipe for fulfillment and success.
Favorite Thing About Your Job
I
have undoubtedly one of the best jobs at WVU! On a daily basis I get to connect
students and their families to an amazing university that may not have
previously been on their radar. My favorite conversation with families is after
they have visited the WVU campus for the first time. I love hearing the excitement
in their voices when they explain how West Virginia University is the perfect
fit for their student. It’s moments like these that make my job extremely
rewarding.
Advice for Students
Start the process early!
Spend time discovering all of your options by visiting campuses and most
importantly ask QUESTIONS! Talk to students, faculty members and your admission
counselor to get all of your questions answered. You want to make the most
informed decision that you can, so you can concentrate on the important things
when you finally get to campus.
When You're Not Working You're
Spending time with my family and friends;
including my dogs, Anders and Keeona. I love to entertain guests, be creative in
the kitchen and complete projects around the house. When at all possible, you
will find me either traveling to faraway lands or dreaming of them. I have quite
an extensive bucket list that I fully intend to complete!
