Jonathan was born and raised on the East Coast and has lived in multiple states to complete undergraduate and graduate degrees.  As a graduate assistant with an admissions office, Jonathan learned that teaching and education take place through various experiences on a college campus, not just in the classroom. In his current position, he brings years of advising, admissions, classroom instruction, and registrar experience to support the campus community.  

Jonathan has lived in multiple states and loves to travel.  He hopes to continue visiting new places and learning from communities throughout the world.
