Q: What is your favorite thing about working at Delaware Tech?

“I love working with students. I feel blessed that I can support our students in both of my roles at the College. I work with a fantastic team of people who all contribute to student success.”

Q: Why was it important for you to work at Delaware Tech?

“I graduated from Delaware Tech with two associate degrees. I admire the College and I desired to be a part of an institution that helps students realize their full potential. The best employees are those who are a product of an organization, and those who value and believe the opportunities an institution has given them. I am grateful for the education I have earned. My passion for student success led me back to where I earned my degrees!”

Q: What did you do before working at Delaware Tech?

“I was the director of marketing for the Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce (CDCC). I worked with businesses to help them market to the community as well as marketing the Chamber’s ‘happenings’ to Kent County. The CDCC is a wonderful organization.”

Q: Describe your first day at Delaware Tech. What was that experience like?

“My first day was extremely busy! A huge music festival was going to use our Del-One Conference Center for Will Call a week after I started. I was learning my new role along with managing a large client. It was probably the most fun I’ve had in my career as the conference services manager.”

Q: What changes have you seen in yourself since you started working here?

“Each day I leave the campus, I reflect on what I learned that day. I think it’s easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day and we don’t always look at everything we’ve accomplished. I think the biggest change I see in myself is that I celebrate all wins, not just the ‘big picture’ ones. It’s a good day when I know I have helped a student get one step closer to achieving their goals.”

Q: What hobbies or interests do you have outside of the College?

“I am a wife and a cat & dog mom. I enjoy kickboxing. I’ve been a member at a local kickboxing gym since 2019 and I really love the friendships I’ve gained along with the skills I’ve learned.”

Q: What’s something people may not know about you?

“I have a twin sister and we both graduated from Delaware Tech at the same time. Also, I love houseplants. I probably have over 40 in my house!”

Q: What are your future goals?

“I want to grow in my career at Delaware Tech. I want to continue to learn and ultimately go back to school for my doctoral degree in education.”
