  Advice for the college search:  
  Students need to find the college that is the “right fit” for them. I always encourage students to explore and visit different college environments (small, large, private, public, suburban, urban). Take a campus tour and meet with an advisor at different schools. This will allow you to see each school and get an idea if that school is the “right fit” for you.
  
  What makes Otterbein great:  
  Otterbein is a small campus with amazing opportunities. Students can participate in the clubs, organizations, research, study abroad, and internships opportunities Otterbein offers.

  Assistant Director of Adult Admission

  Recruitment territory:  
  Adult and Transfer Admission
  
  Education:  
  B.A. in Public Relations, Otterbein University
  
  Favorite spot on campus:
  The front of Towers Hall, the oldest academic building on campus. I love to sit and watch our students travel to and from class in this historical spot. I also remember as a student sitting in the same spot visiting with friends and studying for classes.
  
  Why I love my job:
  I love to build a relationship with my students. To help them learn about Otterbein and provide some guidance to them. To watch them grow as successful students and become a true part of our community. I always cry at graduation – it is very rewarding to see students you have worked with succeed.
  
  Advice for the college search:  
  I really believe that it takes time to find the right college for you. Explore, visit and visit again. You will know when it "feels right" and when it does, your excitement will grow leaps and bounds for your next chapter to begin.
  
  What makes Otterbein great:  
  Otterbein has several distinctive features that only we can claim. But our Integrative Studies Program really stands out to me. We allow our students to spread their general education requirements over their 4 years. Allowing students to begin their major classes their first semester on campus.
