Bio: Returning to college after a career in the United States Army, I immediately recognized the importance of Non-traditional Student support organizations. At times, life as a Nontrad can be overwhelming, and it was great to network with students who could relate to the challenges we face.

On my campus I have served student government in many capacities, one of which was Senator for Nontraditional Students. I graduated in Spring 2007 with degrees in U.S.History and Political Science. My next academic adventure is to complete a MS Degree in Public Administration by 2008.

I have been serving as ANTSHE Communications Officer for almost 2 years now, and with help of the ANTSHE Board, have made significant changes to our communications abilities from previous years.

I look forward to the opportunity to serve this great organization, and with your help, we can truly "make a difference."
