Admissions Representative

"What I enjoy most about Hawkeye are the connections that I've made."

@ Hawkeye

I am an Admissions Representative. I travel to high schools and college fairs across Iowa and visit with prospective students and their parents. We talk about their interests, what career they see themselves in, any questions or concerns about college that they may have, and what opportunities Hawkeye can offer them. Being a Hawkeye graduate myself, I can provide insight from a student’s perspective as well. I also help create the marketing materials you receive when you are visiting with me.

I have been at Hawkeye since July 2011.

My most memorable moment here at Hawkeye was while I was the Student Ambassador Recruitment Leader. I spoke with the mother of a prospective student interested in the Professional Photography program. I called her daughter and spoke with her about life and college in general. She had previously visited Hawkeye and wasn’t convinced about going college at all. After having a few conversations with her, I convinced her to attend an Experience Hawkeye Visit Day. We had a chance to meet and talk while I showed her the campus. She decided that college was for her and Hawkeye was the place to go!
