What made you decide to choose Western? I chose Western originally because my sister already went here and it was familiar and close to home. I ended up getting an academic and music scholarship too. Needless to say-it was a great choice!

What is your fondest memory of Western? The best memory was probably getting the role of Marty in "Grease." Theatre was always so much fun at Western and I made a lot of great friends!

Why I love my job as an Admission Coordinator? I love interacting with students and seeing Western grow.

What every incoming student should know: College is a lot different from high school. You have to learn to study and don't forget to get involved...it makes college more fun!

An interesting fact about me: My husband Eric and I are expecting our first child this fall!

If I were a cookie I would be: A giant cookie from Country Cookies here in St. Joseph because I have a big personality and that place has amazing cookies!

Favorite Spot on Campus: Probably the theatre...hence the photo!

 

PAULA ON THE ROAD
