College and Career Readiness Coach

Mrs. Buchanan grew up a “military brat” and has lived in many different states; however, she calls Iowa home. Before joining MCCHS she was working in Higher Education at Iowa Western Community College and more recently The University of Texas at El Paso. While at those institutions she worked in Admissions and Recruiting. She would visit 40+ high schools and speak to students about the application requirements and onboarding process, career and major exploration, financial aid, and answer any other questions they would have about college. When she wasn't on the road recruiting, she would be registering students for their first semester in college. She has a Business degree from Bellevue University in Nebraska.

When she isn’t at school; she loves to spend time with her Husband and fur baby (boxer/pointer mix.) She loves working out, hiking, baking, meeting new people, and exploring new places!
