AYSHA BELL

Job title: Enrollment Counselor

Job location: Peoria

What attracted you to GCU? I have heard great things about GCU and I LOVE the fact that it’s a university with a Christian heritage.

What do you do for fun and where do you find that outlet? I adore spending time with my husband and daughters (12, 1) and watching movies. 

What are you passionate about? Besides my faith and my family, I am passionate about music and self-development.

What are your favorite places or events in the Valley that you like to visit?  I love to go to the museums, art galleries and, of course, the movie theatre!

Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know:  I have been married for almost 12 years and my husband and I have quite an interesting story around when we met and got married.

What are you most proud of?  I am most proud of the fact that I went to college on an academic scholarship and completed my bachelor’s degree.  Not a huge feat for most, but my mother had only a fourth-grade education and I was the first on her side of the family to complete my education.  That was a big deal for my mom because she never got to finish her education and she passed away in 2009.  But I’m not finished.  I plan to utilize my benefit at GCU to complete my master's.
