"I am looking forward to getting to know the diverse group of students, faculty, and staff at the iSchool," said Wisehart.

I am excited to mix my background in both finance and HR and continue to learn and grow in my position here at the School."

In her free time, Wisehart enjoys going to the gym, spending time with her two rescue dogs, and trying new recipes.
