Expertise:  I can answer questions that relate to most things in your college experience: leaving home for the first time, study abroad, finances, academics, living on or off campus, or almost anything else related to your college life. I've always loved working with college students and higher education in general. I look forward to hearing from you!

Experience in the area
My professional responsibilities have included work as a college admissions adviser, in college residence halls, in student activities and residence life offices, in a Dean of Students office, and with countless faculty and staff colleagues. In my nearly ten years of full-time experience working with and at colleges, I've held positions ranging from a college admissions adviser for teenagers in foster care to a Program Officer at a consortium of twelve colleges in the Midwest.
