I currently possess an associate's degree in secretarial science and have begun the trek of acquiring a bachelor's degree since arriving at Kent State University. I began my employment with Kent State University in November 1997 in the College of Business. I joined EHHS in January 2001 to assume the position of Senior Secretary in the Counseling and Human Development Center (CHDC), which I have titled "Kent State's hidden treasure." The counseling center provides counseling for both the Kent State University community and residents of the general community. I work closely with the Director of the CHDC and oversee the day-to-day operations of the center. I appreciate the experience and exposure I receive interacting with the clients, faculty and staff of EHHS, and look forward to the continuing challenges and rewards the environment presents.
