Q: Can you share your journey to becoming a staff member at Delaware Tech? When did you start and what were you doing before?

“Before working at Delaware Tech, I was a student worker at Millersville University, where I studied behavioral and human services. During my time there, I served as a campus tour guide, orientation leader, and played an active role in planning campus events. Working closely with dedicated staff members inspired me to pursue a career in higher education.

Although I paused my studies during the COVID-19 pandemic, I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue following my passion for higher education here at Delaware Tech. I began working at the College in 2023 as a part-time administrative assistant for the Education Department at the George Campus. I truly enjoyed getting to know the faculty and supporting the work under the Department of Instruction.

Over time, I realized I wanted to be more directly involved with students—specifically in helping them access holistic resources to support their growth. When a full-time position in Student Affairs became available, I was eager to apply, and I’m even more grateful to be in my current role. As the administrative assistant for Career Services, I find my work incredibly fulfilling. It’s a daily reminder that any effort can make a meaningful difference in students’ lives.”

Q: Do you have a favorite memory from your time at Delaware Tech thus far?

I’m thankful that I was a Krewe Leader for the Welcome Krewe. This allowed me to utilize my planning and outreach skills, as well as meet many of the people who attended the event.”

Q: What challenges have you faced in your career, and how have you overcome them? What changes have you seen in yourself since you started working here?

“During my time at Delaware Tech, I’ve experienced a number of changes that have shaped me both personally and professionally. When I came into my role, I had to be even more detail-oriented in order to best support campus events and students. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of flexibility and a willingness to embrace new ways of doing things. I feel empowered and not as nervous now to ask questions and take initiative. Since starting at the College, I’ve significantly strengthened my administrative skills and developed more effective communication strategies — not just with students, but also with faculty and staff. I hope to continue to grow professionally in my role and am excited for what’s to come.”
