INTRODUCTION
Your college search may be a little different at the moment, but I am here to guide you through it all! Allow me to walk you through each step of the college admissions process, and help you and your family conquer any challenges you may face. Eastern Illinois University offers many opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience both academically and recreationally, as well as provides students the tools for success for years to come. I look forward to welcoming you to the EIU family, future Panther!
About Me: I graduated from EIU in 2009 and returned to work for the Office of Admissions in the Spring of 2011. In my free time, I enjoy performing karaoke specializing in Disney music.
Advice for Students: GET INVOLVED! We have over 200 student organizations on our campus for you to get involved with. Opportunity is EVERYWHERE
Favorite Place on Campus: O'Brien Field or Lantz Arena are special to my heart. During undergrad, you could find me in the stands with the Blue Crew student section cheering on our Panthers! EI EI EI U!
