Welcome to Eureka College Admissions
I’m so excited to be in my twenty-third year of service to Eureka College! My experience at Eureka College began as I chose to attend in the fall of 1983 when I enrolled as a freshman. After four of the best years of my life I found myself in cap and gown in May 1987 graduating with a bachelor degree in Economics and Business with an emphasis in Finance and a minor in Psychology. As good fortune would have it I was hired in June and began working as a Eureka College admissions counselor on August 1, 1987. I wasn’t sure about many things at the time, but one thing I was sure of - I was very proud to be representing my alma mater.
Eureka College has been a big part of my life for over twenty five years and I hope it will be for many more years. There are numerous wonderful aspects about this learning community that I feel are unique to this place, the Ronald Reagan Leadership Program, the Durward Sandifer Mentorship Program to mention a couple, but the most remarkable aspect is us, the people who choose to be here. Eureka College is a place where administration, faculty, staff, and most importantly, students all blend together to make up the EC Family! Each and everyone one of us cares for the other and for the common good of the College.
I invite you to visit this special place to see if it’s the right choice for you. I hope you find what so many have already found, a place to call your college home, and a place where you are one of our Family!

I have been a part of the Eureka College community since my daughter came to Eureka College as a freshman in 2001. Shortly thereafter I began working in the EC Athletic Office and working toward a BS of my own. I joined the Admissions team in 2005, watched my daughter graduate with her bachelor’s that year, and continued pursuit of my degree along with my oldest son who was a sophomore at Eureka that year. I took great pleasure watching this son walk down the grassy steps of Rinker Outdoor Auditorium to receive his diploma as his younger brother and I continued toward the same goal. In May of 2010, my youngest son along with his mother took our turns in Rinker, receiving our pieces of ivy and our diplomas, commencing our times as students here at Eureka College.
I love this place. I love to learn. I truly believe there are many opportunities for the alert student. Take full advantage of what this place has to offer: great people - faculty, staff & administrators who want to share their knowledge, their experiences, and their lives in order to enrich the lives of Eureka College students.
Oh yes, I am from El Paso, IL. I love my family, friends, boating, skiing on water & snow, tennis & reading.

Originally I am from the small town of Toulon, Illinois and graduated from Stark County High School in 2008 with a class of 44 students. I was so used to the small town life that Eureka seemed like the perfect fit! I started college as a Math Ed major, and ready to participate in every activity I could find! I graduated from Eureka in May of 2012 with a Music major and a Math and Business Double minor. Although I changed my major, Eureka was able to work with me and I still graduated in four years!
Some of my fondest memories happened at Eureka. Having movie nights on Upper Ford, traveling to Italy with Dr. Henry and the entire EC Chorale, homecoming bonfires, impromptu karaoke nights in the sorority lounge, and the list goes on! I’m extremely glad to be back as a staff member helping students find the right college for them and watching them experience some of the same memories I had. Go Red Devils!

Get to know
Ec Dean of Admissions
Through the years, I have recruited all over the state of Illinois, several other states, and have made two recruiting trips to Tokyo. I have enjoyed working in the Admission Office no matter what my responsibilities and assignments have been. Currently, I serve the College as the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid for the second time in my career. I served in this capacity from May 1997 to September 2000. After three years of being in the office, I found that I truly missed the day to day recruitment of students and the relationships I had with students, parents and high school guidance counselors. In the fall of 2006 I was asked to serve the Admissions Office as an in house manager of the staff and of recruitment operations. I gladly accepted my new responsibilities and in July 2007, once again, I assumed the role of Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid. The major difference for me this time is the fact that I have been blessed with two children who keep me very busy making me grateful to travel less and be home more. |
