Why I love EMU!

I love working at EMU because we are just small enough where your walking around campus and
students, faculty and staff know your name and are genuinely interested in how you are doing and just
provide a sense of community.

Favorite thing about living in the Shenandoah Valley

Growing up on the Eastern Shore mountains we not easily available, so being in Harrisonburg I have
gained a love for hiking and camping and driving Skyline. I also love to ski so being 20 minutes from
Massasnutten Ski Resort has been great.  Downtown Harrisonburg has a great variety of restaurants that have all been wonderful, hard to pick me favorite! The Saturday morning Farmers Market is also another favorite thing for me and my family to do.

Anything else you should know about me?

I love working in Higher Education and my college career made me realize me passion for working with
others in Education. I am here to help students and their families navigate the journey of college and
make it everything they want it to be! I am also the Campus Visit Coordinator so making your visit
special is what I do!
