“Notre Dame College paved a path for my love of learning. As an alumna, I feel a sense of community here at NDC, and that is why I work diligently to make sure our students have a positive, fulling experience, too! Post-graduation, my efforts remained in academic success, retention and student accounts in higher education. Experience in data analytics opened doors to completing my MBA at IWU in 2016. I returned to higher education and am so glad I did! I had a wonderful experience in admissions. Now, in academic success, I look forward to assisting students in reaching their personal, professional and academic goals.”
