A Little Bit About Me
I’ve lived in the United States and England. I have a border terrier brought back from England, whom I totally spoil. I also have two sons I probably also spoil, but not as much as the dog. My guilty pleasure is Cheetos®.

The Best Part About Being an Admission Counselor
Getting to know people from all over and getting glimpses of their life stories. After meeting and reading about so many students, I’m still amazed, delighted, and touched by these encounters.
