Meet Your Admissions Staff

What was the best part about your college experience as a student?

• The best part of my college experience was going to the President’s Influence Retreat my senior year. It was something I heard about my freshman year and something I looked forward to ever since. I heard, learned, and dove into the meaning of the word “influence” for four years as a student and being able to discuss it and what it meant for me in my life and ministry alongside my closest friends and mentors for a weekend really put it into perspective. Not only was it a nice weekend away at the lake full of discussion, but it was a very sweet time with my friends before we all graduated and went on to pursue our next life adventure. I am grateful DCC gave me that experience.

What makes you excited every day about working at Dallas Christian College?

• What excites me every day about working at Dallas Christian College, other than the people I share an office space with, is the fact that I get to work at my alma mater. Not only do I as an admissions counselor get to share DCC with prospective students, but I get to share my real life experiences with them. I loved my time as a student and I am excited that I can share that with others.

What advice do you wish you were given when you were looking at your college options?

• While looking at college options I wish someone would have told me to seriously consider what goes into filling out a college application. It is more than just filling out a packet – they include essays, SAT or ACT test scores, good GPA’s, application fees, etc.  I would have been more productive and would have had a college plan sooner rather than two weeks before school started.

What was the best part about your college experience as a student?

• I made most of my closest friends while I was a student at DCC. Living in the dorms was incredibly helpful for getting to know my fellow students. I was able to experience the highs and lows of life in community with my closest friends.

What makes you excited every day about working at Dallas Christian College?

• I am always excited to work with some of the most fun people to be around in the admissions office. We are able to be creative with what we do and collaborate easily in our efforts to reach students. One very important aspect about DCC is its mission to mentor students for the sake of the Kingdom. Every student that enters college, especially as a freshman, is getting their first taste of individual freedom and responsibility. It is amazing to know that we have a team that desires for its students to be Kingdom-minded and to mature in their faith, being prepared for life after college.

What advice do you wish you were given when you were looking at your college options?

• I wish I had been told to plan ahead. When I graduated high school, I pretty much lived in the moment but without regard for how to prepare for graduation early on. Facing life one day at a time is great for helping people to worry less. However, many of our daily decision should be made with regard to where we see ourselves in the next five, ten, and 15 years. Having long term goals is essential to living life well.
