"I changed my major 3 times and still graduated without a clue about my career. I think that's why I enjoy career services, I can help others avoid that 'lost' feeling."

When Kim isn't commuting (daily) from Mason City, she enjoys travel. "My most memorable vacation so far was a trip that included Rome, Italy; Athens, Greece; and Cairo and Luxor, Egypt."

Kent attended a private liberal arts college in upstate New York for two trimesters before taking a five year hiatus from academia.
