I started my career at Kirkwood in 1992 and quickly caught the "Kirkwood Fever" and discovered the numerous benefits of Community Colleges. My most rewarding job at Kirkwood is assisting students and helping them attain their goals. I also enjoy giving time back to the community in which I serve. My hobbies include: volunteering, golfing, and spending quality time with my husband, children and friends.

I will be working with our eight partnering high schools, as well as the Jones County Alternative High School program, to educate students, parents and counselors about the benefits of earning college credit while in high school. Assisting students with the transition to postsecondary education or careers is another aspect of my job. My hobbies include coaching swim team, golfing, shopping and spending time with my husband and three kids.

I work with students who are pursuing an adult high school diploma, need to earn high school credits, or are studying for their GED. I also teach Personal Achievement Math and Personal Achievment Writing for college credit.

I’ve worked at the Jones Regional Education Center since 2001. I assist students with accommodations for disabilities, financial aid, and registration. My leisure interests include reading, singing, politics and staying in touch with my globetrotting family members.

My days at Kirkwood began like it does for many, with a phone call inquiring about classes. Inquiring about classes and actually beginning them, led me to inquire about a work-study position. As fate would have it I was hired, being hired on as a work-study eventually led me to being hired on full time to take care of the general maintenance of our center. I have cheerfully done everything from catching errant bats to jumpstarting reluctant cars. In my time away from Kirkwood I love to ride and drive mules.

In my spare time I enjoy, boating at Lake Delhi, golfing, volunteering in the community, and spending time with my friends and family, especially my husband and little girls, Kinzi and Haili.

Ashley provides testing services for students taking Anytime/Anywhere courses, the Compass Placement tests, or make-up exams. She also assists our college students with questions about services and programs.

I enjoy assisting students in all areas of career development. My personal mission is to educate students about the career development process so that they can make good career decisions throughout their life.

I have worked for Kirkwood for over five years now and have a wide variety of duties maintaining the cleanliness of the building. In addition to my position at Kirkwood, I operate a large cleaning service in the Monticello area. In my spare time, I am busy with my grandchildren, children, husband, my flower beds, and volunteering in my community.
