Learn about your Admission Counselor:
Favorite thing about North Central: North Central College has so many opportunities to be successful as a student, community member, athlete, artist, and explorer. I truly enjoyed the small class sizes and the ability to grow strong connections with all staff members to ensure my success. In addition, I love supporting North Central Athletics, and tailgating the football games!
Words I use to describe North Central students: Supportive, Collective, Learners, and Personable.
Why did I choose to become an Admission Counselor/staff member at North Central? Since graduating from North Central College, I have been a teacher and always looking for opportunities to grow. I too was a transfer student to NCC. Therefore, I feel like I can empathize and help students through the transition process of finding the best school for themselves, as North Central did for me.
Favorite Naperville restaurant: Downtown Naperville has plenty of amazing restaurants, but my favorite one is Quigley’s! I highly recommend their fish and chips while enjoying their beautiful outdoor patio. If you still have room for dessert, Cookie Dough Creation is a delicious sweet treat.
Favorite season in Naperville: Without a doubt, fall is the best season in Naperville. From the gorgeous trees changing colors to the vibrant Football season, there is no other fall like a Naperville fall.
Advice to students: My best advice to students is to be yourself and step outside your comfort zone to explore all the clubs and programs North Central has to offer. If you do have the opportunity, NCC offers amazing study abroad programs. Lastly, do not be afraid to ask for help! You have a whole staff and student body cheering you on. The personal connections you make through North Central are always there for you and will last a lifetime.
