If you are looking for a women’s college that has small class sizes, a community environment, and a strong liberal arts curriculum with an emphasis on career preparation, then I am glad you are looking at Midway College. I look forward to helping women in northern Kentucky, Franklin County and Scott County, as well as Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, and the Northeast navigate through the admissions process and am here to help answer any questions. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from a private college in Kentucky and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in College Student Personnel from the University of Louisville. I have a passion for working with college students, so please contact me today to learn more about Midway, set up a campus visit, or just to chat about what Midway has to offer.

Receiving my 2008 undergraduate degree from Midway College, I too, know the questions that one might have in taking the next step towards higher education. Coming from a small town (Lebanon, Kentucky) I initially looked for a college that offered strong academics, small classroom sizes, and extracurricular activities that fit me. Midway definitely had what I was looking for, and I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration, along with an associate degree in Computer Information Systems. I also left Midway with leadership, communication, and critical thinking skills that I might have not received at any other college or university. Now that I am an admissions counselor at Midway, I am honored to share the same experiences and knowledge of Midway with those women who really want to succeed. So please, feel free to contact me with any questions about Midway, and come visit our delightful campus, we would love to have you!

I am the data specialist for the Women's College and the School for Career Development. I am originally from Wisconsin and, yes, I love cheese and am a big Green Bay fan. In addition to being an employee of the college I am also a graduate, having received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration in May of 2008. While attending Midway I spent my extra time playing for Coach Hoffman on the tennis team. Although I miss my family very much, Kentucky has become my home and I am honored to be a part of the Midway College family.
