Meet the Staff

About Brandy:

• What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
  • I really enjoy reading Patricia Cornwell books.
• What is your favorite dessert?
  • Banana cream pie, crème Brule, or tiramisu.
• What are your educational and/or career goals?
  • I would like to continue my education at some point…to complete a doctorate program.
• Name one thing on your bucket list (what you want to do or accomplish before you die).
  • To get my motorcycle license.  I accomplished this last May, and I have taken my motorcycle on a few fun rides this year! 

About Phil:

• Superpower and why?
  • Make really good coffee because the stuff I make is always either too weak or too strong.
• Something interesting about me.
  • I live a very boring life.
• My favorite dessert.
  • I really like the Sahara because it is the biggest.
• Meet someone dead or alive and why?
  • Abraham Lincoln because I would want to advise him to find a past time different from patronizing the Theatre.

About Jeff:

• Something interesting about me.
  • I actually started my career in higher education at age four when I live in the dorms at Northern State University with my Resident Director parents. I used to ride my Big Wheel up and down the hall at night to make sure that quiet hours were being followed. I was firm, but fair.
• What are your educational and/or career goals?
  • I've known since first interactions with college personnel during my own college search that working in higher education was the right place for me. I hope to keep advancing in my own education so that someday I'll be President Pool (but you can still call me Jeff).
• What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
  • I enjoy spending time with my family and friends outside of work. I'm a huge movie buff, so I spend a fair share of time trying my best to watch every movie that Netflix has to offer. I also enjoy going to concerts, playing basketball, and out-fishing my co-workers whenever the opportunity arises.
• If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
  • I would want to be Super Advisor, and I would have the ability to magically make class schedules fit together faster than a speeding bullet.

About Zachary:

• Something interesting about you...
  • I was on a competetive dodge ball team and competed in the national tournament in Las Vegas in the summer of 2007.
• What are your educational and/or career goals?
  • I think someday I will get a masters degree in something "earth-sciency-mathy" and continue working in higher education.
• What are your interests?
  • The outdoors, learning, kayaking, canoeing, water, fishing, rivers, life (like birds, dragonflies, and sequoias), science, The Universe, mathematics, books about my interests, social justice, psychology, sociology (people in general), anthropology, ecology, tribal societies, music.
• If you were reincarnated as an animal what would you be and why.
  • If we're talking about nonfictional animals then it's a toss up between otter, sea tortoise, golden eagle, human, and silverback. I think I'd choose the eagle though due to the longer lifespan comparatively to other animals of flight.

About Lacrestia:

• Something interesting about you...
  • I attended kindergarten in Germany, where I was my parents translator at the age of 5 from German to English when we went to the grocery store, shopping, etc.
• What are your interests?
  • I like to scrapbook, learn new things, cook, play with my nephews and nieces, watch movies with my husband.
• Name one thing on your bucket list (what you want to do or accomplish before you die).
  • I want to fly to Holland, pick up a dutch dress, then fly to Germany and clog dance with braids in my hair, my new dutch dress and wooden clogs!
• What are your educational and/or career goals?
  • I want to finish my business degree and then change my major to something science.
