I received my B.A from Boston University in 2016, where I studied Political Science and English Literature. I was involved with several student organizations and received the selective Scarlett Key Leadership award my senior year. My passion for working with students was cultivated through the Community Service Center on campus, as I led several programs and initiatives in the education field.
After graduating with my B.A, I worked for the non-profit organization College Advising Corps. I worked with hundreds of students through the college application process, assisting students with applications to highly selective universities, community colleges, and everything in-between! During this time, I completed a Master's in Educational Policy and Leadership Studies, focusing on college access and student success.
After my graduate program, I accepted a role within Boston University's Financial Aid Office in 2018. I began as a Financial Aid Counselor and was soon promoted to Assistant Director in the Spring of 2019. As an Assistant Director, I worked directly with our undergraduate students and their families on financial aid application completion, the financial aid appeals process, as well as college affordability counseling. I'm deeply familiar with the FAFSA and CSS Profile and worked closely with our Admissions office through each application cycle.
I'm excited to work with students one on one, building confidence and self-advocacy through the application process. I serve as a resource for students, helping to demystify college admissions, and provide support in any way I can. Applying to college is such an exciting time, and I'm thrilled to work alongside students and their families!
