A bit about Meg: As an alum and self-proclaimed "lifer," Meg couldn't imagine being any happier anywhere else. She loves what she does. "They say that your college years are the best years of your life," Meg says. "And it's true! I'm so lucky to wake up every morning and go to such a great place. I love getting to know our students."

What I look for in a student: A kind heart and willingness to learn. Students that attend St. Ambrose are are the kind of people that care and want to make a difference, from saying "hi" to someone who may look lonely, to doing volunteer or service learning or by taking their studies seriously.

What I like about my job: Pretty much everything! I love people and building relationships. It is an honor to have the job I hold, and I take it very seriously. Choosing a college is a big decision for many families, and I try to do whatever I can to help students find the right fit. 

My hobbies: Meeting new people, traveling, watching my sons at sporting events and enjoying the new addition to our family, Allison.

Connections to SAU: My grandfather graduated from the academy, my uncle graduated from the university, my brother graduated from the "sister school" Marycrest College and my mother was a professor there for many years. 

Most commonly asked question: What makes St. Ambrose different from other private colleges in Iowa? And Meg's answer: St. Ambrose is the largest growing private university in Iowa with a president that has longevity and commitment to make this university the premiere institution in the Midwest. Our facilities continue to grow: a new university center, a partnership with Genesis Health Systems to build a state of the art Health Science facility, and we have the best selection of housing in the Midwest. Visit campus, meet the people and then you will see that there is a heart and soul on this campus that can not be duplicated.
