Admissions Expert

I am a proud admission professional who enjoys helping students make their dreams a reality. As a former women’s basketball player at The George Washington University (GW) where I majored in Organizational Science, I knew early on that I was passionate about helping students achieve their goals as I worked with them to help discover their passions. Following my time at GW, I spent five years working at The University of Southern California (USC) where I served as an Associate Director of Admission for four years and as an Academic Advisor for students in the Iovine and Young Academy. After graduating from USC with my Masters of Education in Counseling, I returned to the DC Metro Area and now serve as a College Counselor to high school students where I specialize in the athletic recruitment process. One of my strengths is interview preparation, where I take students through a mock interview with the goal of building confidence. My favorite part of the college process is getting to know my students while pushing them to their highest potential. I enjoy watching almost any sport, traveling with my partner, and trying new foods. I look forward to working with you!
