I am a passionate and student-centered professional with a strong background in the sciences, leadership, and public engagement. With a B.S. in Organismal Biology and experience as both a field biologist and a team leader in high-volume service environments, I bring a unique blend of academic knowledge, communication skills, and real-world mentorship experience to the role of College Admissions Counselor. Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with people from diverse backgrounds—educating youth through volunteer work at the Audubon Zoo and Youth Empowerment Project, mentoring peers in the classroom and lab, and managing teams in dynamic scientific and hospitality settings. I understand the importance of building trust, providing guidance, and creating a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for prospective students and their families. Whether I’m leading a marine biology field team in Alaska or supporting first-time college applicants all over the country, I bring empathy, organization, and energy to every role I take on. I’m eager to help students navigate their academic journeys, discover their passions, and feel confident about their futures.
