What’s My Why?

Growing up on the campus of a boarding school, I discovered early on that educational communities are where I thrive. At Salve, I promote the University through a broad range of admissions activities, including recruitment, outreach, travel, counselor relations and serving as a point of contact for prospective international students. I also coach the running club, the Salve Striders.

Guiding students to realize and actualize their full potential is a source of pride for me. I believe selecting a college that empowers you academically and personally is key to embracing your collegiate experience. The right school should align with your passions and strengths, whether through specialized programs, student organizations or sports teams.

Advice for Prospective Students: 

As you explore colleges, I encourage you to visit Salve’s campus, ask questions and embrace the journey to find your next home. Start early and stay organized to manage deadlines and requirements. Be genuine in your essays, showing who you are beyond grades and test scores. Seek feedback from trusted mentors, apply to a balanced list of schools and focus on finding the right fit for your goals and personality.
