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

"Helping students. Knowing that what I do contributes to the success of our students is very gratifying."

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

"Everyone was so friendly and willing to help me become acclimated to the new environment. I met everyone, which was great."

Q: Do you have a favorite memory from your time at Delaware Tech thus far?

"I have a couple. Graduation is one of them. It warms my heart to see our students persist to graduation. Another favorite happened when one of my students wrote me a thank you note at the end of the semester. She explained that because I listened and encouraged her, she did not drop out of college and successfully completed the semester. There were others, and it makes what we do worthwhile when we know we have had positively influenced someone's life."

Q: Do you have any future goals?

"As long as I am here, I want to make a difference in the lives of others. I will celebrate 30 years with Delaware Tech [this year]. I am too young to retire, but when I do in five or so years, I look forward to traveling and volunteering."
