In addition to the Business Office, she will oversee Campus Operations and the Thunder Ice Arena manager.

Warren was named to the board of the Steuben County Community Foundation in 2019. She lives in Steuben County with her husband Noah, who serves as Trine’s head men’s and women’s golf coach, and their two children.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in business administration with a major in accounting from Trine University, and completed additional coursework to meet the requirements for the CPA exam at Purdue University in 2007. She has been a certified public accountant in Indiana since 2010.
