EMPLOYEE PROFILE

Name:

Title: Financial Aid Assistant

Major responsibilities: I place and monitor students in the Federal Work-Study program. I also assist students with all financial aid applications, such as Pell grants, student loans and scholarships.

Length of service at the College: 9 years

Place of birth: Columbus, Ohio

Family members: My husband, Roy; my three children, Michael, Crystal, and John; and my two adorable granddaughters, Kaylee and Ashlee

Something no one knows about you: I have kept a journal for more than 20 years, recording all dates and important events. I hope someday my children will find it useful and entertaining. Also, Deborah has a son in Iraq with the 278th Army National Guard.

Greatest achievement or proudest moment: My greatest achievement is raising my three children into responsible and caring adults. My proudest moment was when I married my husband, Roy. He has been my rock, my lighthouse and my best friend.

Favorite things outside work: I love to garden, although half the time I don’t know what I am growing. I love to read, write and go to auctions.

Most rewarding part of your job: Helping students obtain money to go to school. Sometimes when students feel there is no hope for them to go to school and we find them a way, they are so thankful. It makes you feel that you are making a difference in people’s lives.

Greatest unfulfilled ambition: I always wanted to be a writer.

Favorite quote: “Lots of people will ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.” Oprah Winfrey
