My role is directing the admission department at Blackfeet Community College. I ensure that every student's journey at BCC starts off on the right foot. The educational journey begins with the application process, which I oversee. I ensure that all required documents are received, answer any questions about choosing BFCC, and offer acceptance letters. I also guide students through the next steps in the registration process. As a point of contact, I am available to assist with any questions while students are enrolled at the college or interested in starting. I can be found in the community, at college fairs, and at various events where I can promote Blackfeet Community College and strive to reach out to the community and beyond. I also promote and advertise to prospective students via radio, TV, internet, newspaper, and in person. Additionally, I host annual open-house events. My door is always open, and I strive to make your experience at Blackfeet Community College wholesome, equitable, and resourceful.

As the Dual Enrollment and Transfer Coordinator at Blackfeet Community College, I am
dedicated to supporting students through every step of their academic journey. I work closely
with dual enrollment and transfer students to ensure a smooth transition into college life,
providing guidance on admissions requirements, course selection, and student services.
My role involves coordinating the admissions process for incoming students, ensuring all
required documentation is in place, and helping them navigate the necessary steps to get
started at BCC. I also track and manage the progress of dual enrollment and transfer students
to help them stay informed and on track.
In addition to student support, I am actively involved in community outreach, promoting the
college and its offerings at local events, and serving as a bridge between BCC and the broader
community. Located in the admissions foyer, my office is one of the first stops for visitors, and I
strive to create a welcoming environment where every student feels supported and informed
from the moment they arrive.
