I come to College Coach with over a decade of experience in college admissions; I have evaluated applications from students across the United States and around the world for three distinct universities.

I began my career at Worcester Polytechnic Institute where I reviewed applications into all majors, including the popular STEM majors of engineering and computer science, oversaw the transfer admissions process, coordinated counselor tours, and collaborated with student interns to deliver specialized programming. Four years later, I returned to the admissions office of my alma mater, Bryant University, to join the senior leadership team. There, I made admissions decisions, led strategic planning initiatives involving partnerships both on and off campus, and led multicultural recruitment efforts. Most recently, I worked as an Associate Director of Admission at Boston College where I made admissions decisions for all four academic divisions: Arts and Sciences, Business, Nursing, and Education.

I have also been an active member of a range of professional associations, including NACAC and IACAC where I have taken on leadership roles, presented on various admissions topics, and continued to build upon my knowledge base.
