Hobbies/Interests: I enjoy living on a lake and anything water related! I love to travel, read, and spend time with my husband and three amazing college-aged children. I love to listen to live music, go to Chicago Cubs games, take long walks/hikes, and relax with my dog, Davy Crockett Hayes.

What I Enjoy Most About Wartburg: I would have to say it is the people at Wartburg College and their genuine care for others. Everyone should experience the great feeling of being a part of a place so warm and supportive that also offers amazing programs and opportunities. Be Orange at Wartburg….it is the color of excitement and enthusiasm, both of which we have lots of on our campus!
