Why College Admissions
After graduating from college, I started my admissions career. I find it incredibly rewarding to work with students as they embark on their journeys toward pursuing their passions. My advice for you during this process is keep “fit” at the forefront of your mind. If you choose the college that is the best fit for you, not only will you be happy but imagine the incredible community that’s created when the students there have all declared that college to be “their place,” their best fit.
My Region
I work with students from Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island and live full-time here in New England. I encourage you to take advantage of my proximity if you can; there are many opportunities for us to meet in person throughout the admissions cycle to discuss Dickinson and your fit with the college. I value that Dickinson supports a personalized approach to admissions, and getting to know the students I’m working with is my favorite part of the job!
Why Dickinson
The Dickinson community is incredibly welcoming and full of really nice people! If you’re looking for a small, close-knit, supportive campus community where you can easily engage with faculty, study in a challenging liberal-arts academic environment and be encouraged to explore your interests in a vast interdisciplinary curriculum, Dickinson should be on your list. Our limestone campus and the historic “college town” of Carlisle both feel familiar and comfortable—very New England-esque! Upon graduating, our students are going on to be globally engaged citizens, positively enhancing communities beyond our beautiful campus, which is something I believe is so important in our world today.
