In February of 1998, I joined the Indiana Tech Admission's team. Originally from the small town of St. Joe, IN, I felt very at home on the small campus located within the city of Fort Wayne. Having worked as an Admissions Counselor for a majority of my time at Tech, I can truly say that getting to know the students and families through the admission process is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. It has been a pleasure to see the students that I work with as incoming freshman walk through commencement and go on to be successful professionals in their fields. The campus has grown and changed beautifully during my time at Tech, but the students, staff, and faculty truly make Indiana Tech a place that I'm proud to be an associated with both as an employee and as an alumnus having completed my MBA here. Outside of Tech, I enjoy spending time gardening, baking (which my co-workers love!), and occasionally, visiting the Tech fitness center. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, and I encourage you to visit the campus for yourself to truly get the Tech experience.

I am from a very small town in northern Indiana named Wolf Lake, but now live in Fort Wayne. I have been working for Indiana Tech since 2001, when I was finishing up my Bachelor's degree in French. I really love to work for Tech, as I am a firm believer in the need for education for everyone. I am continuing my education by pursuing a Master's degree in English Writing and Linguistics. At Tech, I especially enjoy the relationships that I build with incoming students, their parents, and my coworkers. Outside of work, I have many interests, and in my spare time I enjoy live music, especially rock and blues. I try to get to as many concerts as I can. I also love to read, cook, ride bike, and get together with my college friends to keep up on my French language skills! Please feel free to contact me at any point along your journey to higher education. It is a lot of work to decide where to go to college, and then complete all the necessary requirements, but I want to make it as easy for you as I can.

As a recent college graduate, I am well aware of the challenges and difficulties a student may have with selecting a college or university. That is why I am committed to helping students attain their higher education goals. I recently graduated in May of 2005 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology/Chemistry, and, while in college, I worked in admissions. As a Fort Wayne area native (Monroeville, IN), I accepted the job at Indiana Tech because I love the opportunities that the university provides to their students and the opportunity to continue helping people attain their education goals. In my spare time, I love the fine arts, reading, watching sports (Go Red Wing Hockey!), playing with my three dogs (Diesel, Ronin, and Harley), my goat (Bob), and my horse (Shannon), and visiting friends. If I can be of assistance to you, don't hesitate to contact me!

I am originally from Hicksville, Ohio, which is right on the Indiana state line in Northwest Ohio. I graduated from Indiana Tech in May of 2004 with a Bachelor's in Business Administration. Indiana Tech is a great place! While at Tech, I was part of the men's basketball team and was very fortunate to be a part of two National Championship teams. I currently reside in Fort Wayne and in my free-time I enjoy playing golf, baseball or softball, basketball, and working out. One non-athletic hobby that I really enjoy is photography. Tech is a great place to earn your degree; not only do you get lots of personal attention, but you also become part of a great family. I was very fortunate to pick a great school like Indiana Tech and have such a wonderful college experience. I want you to feel the same about your college experience by answering any questions you or your family may have. Feel free to contact me at anytime. GO WARRIORS!!!

I was born and raised in Ft. Wayne and lived just down the street from Indiana Tech. I attended North Side High School. I graduated from college in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, and a minor in German. I love to travel. I was fortunate to have an opportunity to travel to Europe for 10 days with a group of students after I graduated high school and loved it! I would love to travel back to Europe in the future. I also enjoy working with youth of all ages and I love playing with my nieces and nephew! If I can be of any assistance to you, please feel free to contact me. Keep smiling!

Even though I was born and raised in a small Ohio town, I love the city. Indiana Tech is located in the heart of Fort Wayne, Indiana's second largest city. After high school, I attended Northwest State and pursed an Associates of Science degree. Before finding my place at Indiana Tech, I lived in Monterrey, Mexico. During my almost three years in Mexico, I also visited the countries of Thailand and Cuba. I'm now back at Tech, pursing my Bachelor's degree in Marketing. One of the most enjoyable aspects of Tech, is that it has a community feel even in a big city. Tech is about raising your expectations and achieving more than you ever imagined. Anytime you have a question, please contact me. I truly hope that you will check out Tech soon!

I am a 2007 graduate of Taylor University majoring in Marketing Communication. I am originally from Elkhart, IN about an hour and a half north. In my family I was the first person to attend college. I remember how confused I was when I started to look at colleges and decide what I really wanted in an education. Being the first to attend college from my family that is one reason why I am excited to work for Indiana Tech.  I'm excited to help students who may be the first from their families to experience the college search. Outside of work I enjoy playing sports especially soccer. I love to read books now that I'm out of school and can choose the books. Other times I can be found spending time with family. Once again I'm excited to help you on your college search. Don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions about Indiana Tech.

I was raised in a small rural community south of Fort Wayne, Indiana. After graduation from high school in 2004, I commuted to the Fort Wayne, campus of Indiana University- Purdue University. The city of Fort Wayne brought many opportunities for me to excel not only individually by working with non-for-profits but academically, as I attending IPFW. I graduated in May 2008, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Public and Environmental Affairs and a minor in Interpersonal Communication.  I joined the Indiana Tech team in June 2008, as an Associate Admissions Counselor. This position is a perfect fit for me! I enjoy getting to know the students and families through the admission process and seeing these students make the choice to obtain a degree in higher education. I am firm believer that the role higher education plays in each students life will help lay a strong foundation for their future in our job market. Indiana Tech's "career-focused degree programs" are accessible and obtainable to every age and background.
