In Her Own Words:
My approach
“Deciding on what college to attend can be an overwhelming and daunting decision for students. I aim to make the process seamless and enjoyable, all while building a strong relationship with my students and their families. I make it a goal of mine to break everything down into manageable and sequential steps. I strive to help students find their “best fit”, as I do not believe there is only one right school for each person. I truly enjoy working with students during this exciting time in their lives and hope to help them feel successful and excited about their college options.”
What I love about my job:
“My favorite part of my work at Campus Bound is interacting with such great students. Through the college search and application process I am able to learn more about their passions, interests, and plans for the future as we work to find their perfect fit. To be able to assist families and students through this process and see it all come together is so rewarding. There is nothing more exciting than a student deciding where they will call home for the next four years.”
How I spend my free time:
“In my spare time I enjoy being around my family and friends, especially my 3 year old nephew, Oliver. When I am not working I enjoy cooking, trying new recipes, and spending time outdoors hiking and biking. Most recently, I have been planning the details of my July 2021 wedding.”
