| What advice would you offer to students during their college search and application processes? | |
| Visit the campus and do so while school is in session. There is no better way to learn about a university than actually spending time on campus and seeing what a day is like in the lives of the students. | |
| How long have you worked as an admissions counselor at Saint Louis University? | |
| I am a recent alumnus of SLU. I started working in the Office of Admission in my second year of college as a student ambassador and later as an intern with Graduate Admission. I started working as an undergraduate counselor in January of 2013. | |
| What do you enjoy most about your work as an admissions counselor at Saint Louis University? | |
| I love to meet so many prospective students. The college search is an exciting time in person's life and it's great to be a part of it. | |
| Where is your favorite spot on SLU's campus? | |
| The east end of campus outside of the Chaifetz Arena. It's SLU's very own park complete with playing fields, walking paths, ponds, and fountains. I love that we have so much green space despite our location in Midtown St. Louis. | |
| What is your favorite restaurant (or entertainment venue) near SLU's campus that you recommend to students and their families? | |
| I’d have to say Busch Stadium. Cardinals games are a blast and St. Louis has the best fans in baseball. | |
| What did you study as an undergraduate? | |
| I have Bachelor of Arts degrees in both English and History. I was also in the Honors College here at SLU. | |
| Other than those regarding financial aid, what are the most common questions you receive from prospective students and their families, and how do you respond? | |
| A lot families ask why I chose SLU. My response has three parts. First, I knew I wanted to be in a city. There are so many things to do in St. Louis whether it be attending a concert, a Cardinals game, or just strolling through Forest Park. Second, I wanted to go to a medium-size school. Walking through campus everyday you always see people you know, but you don't know everyone you see. SLU was just the right size for me. Finally, I was blown away by the beauty of SLU's grounds. Visit campus on a sunny Spring day when the students are outside and the flowers are blooming and you'll find it hard not to fall in love. |
