Profile Picture

Words I use to describe North Central students: Ambitious, involved, caring.  

Why did I choose to become an admission counselor at North Central? As a first-generation college student, navigating the admission process at times felt a bit daunting and isolating. I understand firsthand how complex and difficult it may feel, especially to students and families going through this for the first time. I ultimately wanted to be a resource in making sure no one feels alone or forgotten in this unique and wonderful journey into higher education.

Favorite Season in Naperville: FALL! I don't think there's any better season. With North Central's arboretum accreditation and its placement in Naperville's lovely historic district, the campus looks absolutely entrancing and cozy. Who doesn't love a scenic walk to class in the breezy sweater weather. 

Advice to students: You're going to hear this a million times, but for a good reason- GET INVOLVED! Join that club you've been debating about, go to that athletic or fine arts event, talk to the peers on your floor/in your class, ask questions about anything and everything. Even a simple head nod or smile towards those you see every day on your walk to class can go SUCH a long way. These are truly transformational years in your life- make the college experience YOURS!
