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.
