Fort Collins, CO
Background
I took a very non-traditional route to receiving my undergraduate and graduate degrees at CSU. I pursued my degrees on a part-time basis while working fulltime at the University. I was a first-generation student and often the oldest student in my classes. I feel my time at CSU (both as a student and with my work career) created opportunities that I would not have otherwise had. It really sent me down a path that enriched my life.
Fun Fact
One summer during my youth, I worked as an attendant at a full-service gas station and drove a vehicle in a demolition derby.

Interests
Interest in Fostering Success Program
During my career in Financial Aid at CSU, one of the programs I administered that I was passionate about was the dependent to independent appeal process. I found it rewarding to help students from various diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic levels make higher education a reality. Being involved in the FSP Community is an opportunity to be involved with a dynamic group of students and, while even in a minor role, to help empower students to be successful.
Hobbies
I enjoy live music events especially the blues and going to movies (action and comedy) or attending theater productions.
