What do you enjoy most about working in FSC’s Office of Admissions?

As a former educator, I enjoy sharing my passion for education and my passion for my alma mater with students and their families during their college search journey.

Do you have a favorite spot on campus?

My favorite spot on campus is the grassy knoll near the Centennial Tower. When I discovered this part of campus years back, I knew I was at home when I looked up and saw the beautiful cross.

What about hobbies or outside interests?

I enjoy working out, reading, the beach, and traveling to big cities.

It is hard to name just one book, The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, Where the Crawdads Sing, Seven Splendid Suns, and Rivers’ Bridge to Haven are among my favorites.

Any favorite restaurants or hangouts in Lakeland?

Black & Brew, Frescos, and Purple Onion are my favorites!

Favorite thing to do in Lakeland on a Saturday?

A morning run around beautiful Lake Hollingsworth, a stroll around our local downtown farmers market, followed by lunch at a local café or restaurant.
