Hello! I’m here for you as a resource as you navigate your college search. Whether you have no idea where to start or have had Dickinson on your list since you were old enough to say “college,” know that I am here to support you every step of the way. I love receiving emails from students and parents!
About Me
I’m originally from Atlanta, Ga., and moved to Pennsylvania for college where I majored in Spanish and religion. After working as an admissions student worker at my small liberal-arts college, I discovered my passion for helping find students who would also thrive in a liberal-arts environment and supporting them throughout their college search.
Dickinson is a remarkable institution whose commitment to the liberal arts and sciences (a fancy way of describing a learning model that encourages multiple areas of study), sustainability and global education make it a particularly special place to learn and grow. That, plus having one of the friendliest communities of students, faculty and staff you’ll ever meet, makes Dickinson a great potential fit for those who are curious about the unknown and who value a close-knit community.
What is something new you’d like to experience, learn or try that might surprise your friends and family?
I was a swimmer for 16 years. However, if I hadn’t gone the swimming route, I would have chosen dance as my sport. Jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, ballroom, salsa, you name it—I’ve always admired how dancers use their bodies to tell stories. I’d love to start taking classes!
FUN FACTS
I love all things cooking and eating! You can find me every Wednesday at the Carlisle Farmers Market picking out fresh produce and unique specialty foods for my weekly meals. As far as restaurants go, some of my favorite spots to eat in town include Nonna Ilva’s, Grazery, B&F and Taqueria Laurita.
I strongly prefer lamps to overhead lighting and have brought several into my office to avoid turning the LEDs on.
Massey’s or Leo’s: I don’t think it’s a fair comparison! Massey’s specializes in frozen custard and Leo’s does homemade ice cream flavors. Two very different places that serve very different treats depending on what you’re craving. I suggest trying them both :)
CLOSING THOUGHT
Deciding on a list of colleges to apply to, and then deciding on which to actually attend, can be scary. I’m here to turn the beast into something much more manageable. There are no such things as silly questions, and I encourage you to reach out!
