\"\"I grew up in Cazenovia, NY and graduated from Occidental College in Los Angeles with a B.A. in Urban and Environmental Policy. After college, I joined City Year AmeriCorps in Kansas City, MO, where I discovered my passion for education and student support. This experience led me to pursue a Master\u2019s in Teaching. I have since worked as a teacher and youth program instructor with Triangle Literacy Council in Cary, NC.<\/p>\n

As an Admissions Counselor at Marymount University, I am excited to help students find a college that aligns with their academic and professional goals and while providing guidance throughout the admissions process.<\/p>\n

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring new restaurants around the D.C. area.<\/p>\n
