I began my admissions career at High Point University in North Carolina, where I read and evaluated thousands of applications from students across the country. In addition, I led essay workshops and case study sessions to help prospective families better understand the college admissions process.

My deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion led me to create and lead High Point’s Diversity Recruitment Board, an initiative focused on the recruitment, yield, and retention of students from underrepresented communities.

I later moved to Southern California with High Point as a Senior Regional Admissions Counselor where I recruited students from a range of public and private high schools. Through my involvement with Western Association for College Admissions Counseling (WACAC) and the Regional Association of College Counselors (RACC), I developed extensive knowledge of admissions practices across a wide range of institutions, from large public universities to small liberal arts colleges.

At College Coach I have continued this regional professional development and have attended University of California and California State University counselor conferences, gaining valuable insight into their admissions processes, institutional priorities, and evolving trends.

Although I now call California home, as a North Carolina native I bring extensive knowledge of the state's higher education landscape, including both UNC System institutions and private colleges.

Lastly, as a former collegiate lacrosse player I understand the complexities of the athletic recruiting process and unique pressures student-athletes face throughout their college search.
