As I graduated from college in 2006, many people asked what I would do with a Communication Arts degree.  I always told them that I would just talk to people for a living and many people just laughed at me.  But as an admissions counselor at Defiance College, I have been given the opportunity to do just that: talk to people about Defiance College for a living.  My many positive experiences as a student at DC give me a lot to talk about!   I was involved as a member of the men’s tennis team, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Defiance College Ambassadors, and The Defender (campus newspaper), while I also took the opportunity to partake in service opportunities and work on campus. 

With a personalized education, opportunities to learn and opportunities to serve, DC has something for everyone.  As an admissions counselor, I look forward to speaking with you further about all that Defiance College has to offer.  I wish you the best of luck on your college search, and I encourage you to visit Defiance College.
