Fun Info:
I am a GIANT football fan! (Go Bucks!)
My family is very important to me, which is good since most all of them live within a 10 mile radius of me.
Sarcasm is a necessary survival skill in my house.
What My Position Entails: I help sustain Kids on Campus programs by writing grants and making sure we spend our money wisely. I work with the program coordinators to help manage their budgets. I also manage the KoC office, process the payroll and perform other general office duties. And I find the answers to random questions!
Why I Enjoy My Job: I really like the mix of routine and change. Because our staff is always trying to make the programs the best they can be for the kids and families, we are always changing and evolving. It is never boring here!
I Chose This Career Path Because: I enjoy working with people, and am heavily invested in non-traditional educational programs. Programs like Kids on Campus had such a strong impact on my life personally, and I want to make sure others have that opportunity.
My Professional Passion: The education of our children, especially looking at the whole child. I enjoy teaching children in nontraditional settings; I love the freedom and creativity it allows us to have.
