Hometown: Greenville, Ohio

When I began working at SHU: June 2026

Where did I go to college, and what did I major in?: I attended Seton Hill University and majored in English - Education (7-12).

What inspires me about working in college admissions?: What inspires me about working in college admissions is that it allows me to give back to Seton Hill where I graduated from and help students navigate a major decision in their lives as they prepare to enroll in higher education!

What advice do I always give to high school students applying to college?: My advice to high school students applying to college is to find a heart fit. College is a big commitment and finding a place where you feel that you can grow and thrive is as important as your major, clubs, and interests!

What’s my favorite place on Seton Hill’s campus - and why?: My favorite place on the Seton Hill campus is the FADES lawn. It is a great place to take a study break, play games and socialize with other Setonians! Not to mention home to school traditions like Big Pink!

Describe the spirit of Seton Hill in three words?: compassionate, collaborative, and celebratory.
