New York University
Hometown: Guilderland, NY
What is your favorite thing about working at Clarkson University? My favorite thing is being part of a great team in Graduate Admissions, and meeting more and more people across our campuses the longer I work here.
What do you find most fulfilling about working with graduate students? Graduate students are making a commitment to contribute to their professions, either through research or expanding their expertise. I love being part of their journey as they get started with the first step, the admission process.
What is your best advice for a prospective student looking into graduate school? Don’t do a degree because other people think you should. Take your time and choose the program that is best for you. Also, consider whether to continue in the same discipline you studied as an undergrad, or whether to use your graduate study as a chance to branch out.
What is your favorite vacation spot? Deep Creek, Maryland
What are your favorite sports teams? After years of saying it would never happen, I’ve become a soccer fan, especially English Premier League.
