Hometown:  Mound, Minnesota

Favorite spot on campus:  Lower campus by the grape arbor.

Little-known fact about me:  I’ve hiked on the polar ice cap in Greenland during the summer of 1983 with a L&C program.

Piece of advice for students in the college search process:  Be true to yourself.  Think about your priorities and take the lead in this process. It’s going to be your experience, so you need to invest in the process.

Favorite place to spend time in Portland:  It’s gotta be a toss up between Forest Park and the Waterfront

If I was stranded on a desert island, I would want these three things:  My family, a pile of books and ice cream!

If I didn’t work in Admissions, I would be:  a curator of Native American art.
