Rhonda started as the new Online Academic Advisor in August 2024. Prior to joining the Sterling College team, she spent twenty-five years in K-12 education as a classroom teacher, special education teacher, and school administrator. The administrative role she most enjoyed was serving as the guidance counselor and college/career advisor, which set the foundation for moving into an advising role at the college level. She is passionate about education and desires to assist students with designing a plan that will meet their needs for the future.  Her ultimate goal is to see students grow and seek out the Lord’s will for their lives. 

Rhonda holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in Special Education Learning Disabilities and a Master’s Degree in K-12 School Leadership. In her free time, Rhonda enjoys traveling, spending time at the lake, and watching sports with her husband, Shawn, and two sons, Zach and Connor.
