Responsibilities...

I am a staff assistant in the Division of Undergraduate Studies.  I work closely with the First-Year Transition Program (FTP), which includes Provisional students, the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), and students from metropolitan areas. This program provides a variety of student support services. 

In the fall, I co-coordinate The Major Event of the Year, an academic fair to assist students in choosing a major.  Spring is the time for ACME, the Altoona College Majors Expo which showcases the Altoona majors.  In the summer, I assist with the  First-Year Testing, Counseling & Advising Program (FTCAP) for all incoming first-year students.
 

Family...

My husband's name is Tim and we have two children, Amy and Kenny.
 

Interests...

I enjoy going camping, walking, hiking outdoors, and shopping at outlet stores.  I volunteer for the Altoona Area High School volleyball team; which my son is a volleyball player, and my husband is a volunteer assistant coach. 

At Penn State Altoona, I am co-captain of the Penn State Altoona MS Walk-A-Thon team.

I also volunteer for the Blair County Arts Festival, the African-America Heritage Festival, and the Blair County United Way.
