As an admissions counselor for BryanLGH College of Health Sciences, I work to recruit both traditional and non-traditional students across the state of Nebraska and the surrounding states of Missouri, Iowa and Kansas, making visits to high schools and working at college and career fairs and setting up campus tours with potential students.

I have been with BryanLGH College of Health Sciences since February 2007. However, I have worked in admissions for six years at other institutions.

In my spare time, I like scrapbooking, being outside with my ten-year-old and six-year-old boys, sports and spending time with my cats, Zoie and Scooby, and dogs, Chief and Cozmo, as well as spending time with my husband of six years, Jace.

As Director of Enrollment Management, I am creating and implementing new strategic recruiting plans for the College to ensure that prospective students are getting the information they need to make a decision. In addition, I meet with students during campus visits and interviews.

I have been with BryanLGH College of Health Sciences since January 2007. I have seven years of experience in higher education.

In my free time I enjoy reading, biking, Frisbee golf, sewing, photography, working with stained glass, watching spectator sports, traveling, spoiling my niece and nephew, and of course spending time with my husband, Allen. Allen and I have two fish, Ceasar and Foxy, which have lived for over a year, so we are considering moving up to a puppy sometime in the next year.

I¿m the person that you get when you call the main Admissions phone number. I answer questions about our programs, route phone calls to the appropriate person, and schedule campus visits and interviews. I also maintain all of the prospective student files, send out correspondence to prospective students and enter applicant data into SONISweb.

I have been with BryanLGH College of Health Sciences since January 2007 and came from BryanLGH Medical Center Volunteer Services.

I enjoy traveling, gardening, spending time with my husband, Steve, and son, William.

As a faculty representative, my primary responsibility is offering Nursing and Allied Health information to high schools¿ career education classes in and around Lincoln. I have worked with middle school students through Bright Lights Summer Enrichment Program for 11 years to offer a Medical Explorers Camp. The students see many careers by doing hands-on learning labs, touring various facilities in the city and preparing presentations themselves. I have also helped with college fairs, assisted with admission interviews and offered shadowing opportunities for students deciding on their career of choice.

I am a BryanLGH graduate and have taught at the College since 1994; I have been involved admissions since 2000. My previous experience in Nursing at the Medical Center was as a Nurse-Paramedic for an advanced life support unit in Lincoln as well as a Flight Nurse for Star Care.

In my free time, I spend time with my children. Kali graduated this spring with a Spanish and Music double major. My son, Kyle, is a sophomore studying Pre-Optometry and is a quad-drummer in the marching band. My dog, Tess, a Wheaten Terror (oops!-Terrier) keeps me busy, and I love to snow ski, read, take photos, walk/jog, travel, watch basketball, soccer and baseball as time allows. I am currently working on a certification in life coaching that certainly complements and gives a real name to what I have been doing all along as a faculty representative for Admissions!
