What is the best part about working at Columbia College–Lake of the Ozarks? I love to help new students register for classes for the very first time — they’re so excited!

Talk about your journey and what lead you to Columbia College–Lake of the Ozarks:
In high school, I attended Waynesville Tech School for offset printing. Over the next five years I worked for a local print shop as a typesetter and graphic designer. It was during that time I had my first daughter and returned to work. Shortly after returning from maternity leave, I realized I wanted to be home with my newborn. Nearly two years later, I had my second daughter. Over the past 12 years I have held different office positions which allowed me to be home with my girls and participate in their school activities. While my daughters were growing up, I tried to balance my career and family life to the best of my ability. Nearly 17 years after graduating high school, I have decided to further my education. I will be taking my first college courses at Columbia College in the upcoming March Session.
