Patti returns to Dakota Wesleyan University to join the admissions staff. She began her college career at DWU after graduating from Mount Vernon High School. Patti transferred to the University of Sioux Falls, where she completed her degree in business management. She is currently pursuing her MBA at USF as well. Patti has more than 10 years of experience in higher education in both admissions and financial aid.

Patti and her husband have two young boys – both of whom are active in numerous sports, such as basketball, football, baseball and soccer, to name a few. Besides cheering for her boys, she enjoys camping, scrapbooking, reading, playing games and spending time with her family.

Patti has the opportunity to work with students from eastern South Dakota to include transfer students from South Dakota State University and the University of South Dakota. She will also work with students seeking acceptance into the LPN-RN program in Sioux Falls.

Patti values Dakota Wesleyan’s small, private Christian atmosphere where students are able to participate in many organizations while achieving their educational goals.
