Assistant Director of Graduate & Adult Admissions

As a graduate and adult admissions counselor, I believe the best thing I can do for my students is meet them where they’re at. From my own experiences, I understand that there are many questions and options when it comes to continuing education and balancing work and life. I love helping graduates and working adults figure out their path and will still be rooting for them long after they’ve completed their program!
