I love that we can pick up the phone and call a colleague to quickly help a student who may need something but we aren’t able to help because it’s in a different functional area. It is nice that we can come together as a small community to help our students be successful.

What is your favorite Franklin tradition and why?
Tower Tradition. It’s one of the first times we see the entire first year class together after they have started to form friendships and relationships. We also get to witness our alumni invested in bringing a new class into the history of Franklin College. There is something special about a young tradition feeling older than it has been.
In my spare time...
I operate a self-serve bakery cart usually consisting of sourdough break, cinnamon rolls, cookies and other comforting sweet treats.
