I began my journey at Dakota College at Bottineau as a student and have been employed on campus since 2004. I continued my education online and now serve as the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. I enjoy working at DCB because of its small, supportive campus environment, where students receive a quality education with personalized attention. Teaching technology courses is especially rewarding, as I love seeing students develop new skills and confidence. Outside of work, I’m actively involved in the Bottineau community and enjoy camping and spending time with my family.
