Can you give me a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?
After spending five years teaching general music, band and choir in Sangamon County, I realized my passion was in higher education. Seeking opportunities to contribute to student success, I am now grateful to be part of the registrar's office at the UIS, where I can help students achieve their academic goals.
