What do you appreciate most about CU?
I appreciate the warm, friendly atmosphere, the close-knit community, and the faculty and staff.
Who was one of your favorite CU professors?
Dr. Stevens. He is a knowledgeable, dynamic professor with outstanding Christian character. What is unique about Dr. Stevens, like many professors at Cornerstone, is that he demonstrates genuine care and concern for his students. He fosters a classroom environment where you experience camaraderie, have fun, laugh hard, and learn from his own experiences as a writer and a working professional. With Dr. Stevens, there is never a dull moment—his enthusiasm for and love of his content are evident in the way he speaks and teaches.
Why did you choose to work in admissions?
My two passions are to serve the Lord and to serve people. Working as an admissions counselor at Cornerstone allows me to do both. It’s a pleasure and a joy to assist students as they make crucial decisions about their future.
