About Me:
  • B.A. in Mass Communications - Buena Vista University, Storm Lake, Iowa

As head of the Engineering Communications office for the College of Engineering, my role is to facilitate and implement brand and image development strategies for the college, its departments and programs.

My responsibilities and expertise include:

  • Overall communication and marketing strategies, especially pertaining to reputation and growth of the college
  • Brand development
