She won the Difference Maker Award in 2018, presented to employees for demonstrating an exceptional work ethic, a deep sense of college and community involvement, and a tremendous commitment to students. She’s also won the In The Blue and In the Spotlight by Students awards, and participated in the MGCCC Excelerating Leadership Program.
