I was born and raised in northern California (go Giants!) and earned my B.A. in American Studies from Brandeis University. During my time at Brandeis, I discovered my passion for admissions working as a Tour Guide and Admissions Fellow. After graduating, I moved to North Carolina where I worked in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Elon University.

As one of the Assistant Directors for Visits & Events, I travel to Connecticut and Michigan, while supporting the team here on campus. I seek to quell any stress that students and families might have around the admissions process, and help demystify the application. I love that the George Washington University gives students the best of both worlds: students can take advantage of all of the historical, cultural, and unique opportunities within the city, while having a supportive community here on campus to return to.

Outside of the office, you can find me exploring the Smithsonian Museums, trying new recipes in the kitchen, or spending time with friends and family.
