Where did I go to college, and what did I major in?: University of Pittsburgh Johnstown. Majored in Secondary Education Mathematics with a minor in Psychology.  Earned an MBA from the University of Detroit Mercy.

What inspires me about working in college admissions?:  I love getting to help students figure out where they belong. It’s such a big moment in their lives, and being part of that process is really rewarding. I love to form relationships with students and their families. 

What advice do I always give to high school students applying to college?: Focus on fit.. Go where you feel comfortable and can see yourself being happy—not just the biggest name school. And just be yourself in the process. Set non-negotiables and that will lead you to be where you should be.
