Kathy Meanwell is the Director of Admissions at ISP

Kathy originally worked in medical billing before moving to the practical side of healthcare as an EKG Technician. Later she moved back into the administrative side of the business when she was recruited by Bill Meanwell to run the office at ISP. Although her formal title might sound like she has a single duty regarding admissions, she also holds all of the other office positions from above. If you've ever run a small business without the benefit of employees, you know what we're talking about. When you need something at ISP outside of class, you'll probably be talking to Kathy.
