Background

I got my first taste of admissions through my undergraduate work-study where, in addition to filing a lot of paper, I interacted with students and families as a tour guide and admissions ponelist. However, it was only when I was away from a college environment working as a Civil Engineer that I realized how much I missed working with students at this important time in their lives. I spent the first five years of my admissions career working at small liberal arts colleges on the East Coast, before joining the undergraduate admission staff at Boston College. After a totalof 12 years working in admissions, I wanted to have more insight into the student experience in the college process.

My curiosity took me to Northern California where I worked as a college counselor at a highly selective private girls high school, helping students opply to the most competitive colleges and universities in the United States and abroad. My career path took me back into admission when I moved to the Midwest to manage the undergraduate international admission process at a large public university. I hove traveled across the nation and around the world (20+ countries), meeting and working with students and families to shore my knowledge and expertise of the nuances of the college process
