How did you learn about UNO?
I first heard about UNO as a college athlete, but most of my knowledge comes from researching the university during the application process and as a new employee.
What are some of your best experiences with UNO?
The first day here at UNO my office was filled with UNO merchandise and gifts from coworkers in my office. I have felt at home each and every day here at UNO and I think that is indicative of the whole community here, whether student, staff, or faculty.
What do you enjoy most about working with students?
I love making college possible for those who doubt themselves or never expected to have this opportunity. I love seeing students realize they can actually achieve their goals and actively pursue their dreams.
What do you enjoy most about working at UNO?
The best part about working at UNO is the atmosphere. It is a place full of caring individuals who care for you personally, know how to work hard, and how to enjoy life.
What makes UNO unique from other universities?
I think that UNO is unique because it offers an individual experience while still being a large campus. There are 15,000 students on campus, but none of them are alone. I think this can be witnessed in the student faculty ratio of 17:1 and even in the cost that offers more access to a diverse group of people all perusing goals and impacting the world through higher education.
Were you a first-generation student?
I was a first-generation student. I would not be in the position I am today without others coming alongside me and my family leading up to and through graduation.
