I am pictured with two of my professors in the Exercise Science program, Kris Agena (left) and Brian Solberg (right) at Luther College's graduation Ceremony in 2024.
When I chose to study Exercise Science in college, I knew my goal was to help people become the best version of themselves. My work as an Admissions Counselor has reinforced that passion, teaching me that, at my core, I want to help people achieve their goals—whether that’s choosing the right college or pursuing personal growth. Guiding students through one of the biggest decisions of their lives has been incredibly fulfilling, and I deeply value the relationships I’ve built with them and their families.
The two professors pictured here played a pivotal role in shaping my journey. As trusted advisors, they guided me through challenges, celebrated my successes, and became an invaluable part of my college experience.
Looking ahead, I hope to take the next step in my career by not only helping students choose a college but also giving them reasons to stay and thrive there. In my current role, I work hard to make the college feel like a home. My vision for the future is to help students build a sense of belonging that motivates them to stay and graduate—ideally in four years or less.
I take a servant-leadership approach, showing others the value of a healthy lifestyle and the many benefits it brings. Above all, I aim to create strong, positive relationships that improve lives through health, fitness, and personal connection. No matter where my career path leads, my ultimate goal remains the same: to help people and positively impact their lives, just as my coaches did for me.
