| What advice would you offer to students during their college search and application processes? | |
| It is never too early to start looking at colleges/universities. Look at your academic and personal interests, how much you want to pay for schools, what internship and/or volunteer opportunities certain schools offer and choose a school that best fits you! | |
| How long have you worked as an admissions counselor at Saint Louis University? | |
| I just started my first recruitment cycle at SLU in 2013, but I was a counselor for 2 years at another college before I came back to my alma mater! | |
| What do you enjoy most about your work as an admissions counselor at Saint Louis University? | |
| So far, I enjoy a little bit of everything. However, I would have to say that the excitement in a student's voice after you have told them they were accepted into the university is priceless. To be the person that gives out such great news is a blessing. | |
| Where is your favorite spot on SLU's campus? | |
| The stairs in front of the clock tower has to be my favorite spot on campus. It's a great place to clear your head and collect your thoughts. | |
| What is your favorite restaurant (or entertainment venue) near SLU's campus that you recommend to students and their families? | |
| My all-time favorite entertainment venue is The Pageant. A nice variety of entertainers come to The Pageant and fans love it because there is no such thing as a bad seat! It's great! | |
| What did you study as an undergraduate? | |
| I studied Communication Sciences and Disorders as an undergraduate. | |
| 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? | |
| "Where is a good place to stay on campus?" You really cannot go wrong with our on-campus housing. There is a community feel wherever you choose to stay on campus! The rooms are also pretty spacious for those people who like to bring a lot of clothes and shoes with them. Just keep in mind that you will have a roommate and they need space too. |
