Why did you choose Viterbo as your next employer? I had heard only positive things about Viterbo University—from the atmosphere, to the classroom experience, to the people who work there. I appreciate Viterbo’s core values and have seen the difference they can make in one’s personal and professional life.

Of the five Viterbo values, which resonates with you most and why? The core value that resonates with me most is contemplation. I’m a faith-filled person and believe everything happens for a reason even if sometimes you might not know why. Ferris Bueller said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” It may seem silly to quote a fictional character, but I feel if you don’t take time to reflect on your life, you may not appreciate all the gifts and opportunities you’ve been given.

Hobbies: Watching movies, cheering on the Green Bay Packers, running, traveling, and most recently acting in community theatre.

Anything about your family you would like to share: My husband Brandon and I have been married since May 2012.
