Originally from Massachusetts, I came to Elon University as a student in fall of 2001.  I graduated from Elon in May 2005 and have been here ever since!  I enjoy working with prospective students in the admissions process and I currently serve as the Director of International Admissions.  

I work with students who come to Elon with an international background, from non-U.S. citizens to U.S. permanent residents to dual citizens to U.S. citizens attending schools abroad.  I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to various countries around the world and meet such interesting students!
