Why I Love Hope
There are a lot of things I love about Hope, but what it really comes down to is Hope people. During my 4 years as a student and more recent years as an admissions counselor at Hope I have developed life long friendships with classmates, sorority sisters, roommates, faculty, staff and alumni. There is definitely a tight-knit community here and a feeling that you are a part of the Hope extended family.

Favorite Artist/ Album
Hard to pick just one...recently I'm loving Regina Spektor, Duffy, John Legend, Franz Ferdinand and Radiohead. I also have and will always love James Brown, Etta James, Al Green and many, many more!

Favorite TV Show/ Movie
The Office, 30 Rock, Arrested Development

Best thing about Holland, MI
The beach! I especially love watching or taking part in the sailing regatta out on Lake Michigan on Wednesday nights in the summer.
