Dean of Admissions 


In 2003, I started my journey as a mentor and career in Higher Education—working with international students, becoming an Articulation Coordinator, and evaluating their credentials for school. During that time, I also decided to start my journey into graduate school, eventually leading me to obtain my Master of Arts degree in Psychology. I found a passion for being of service to others, specifically guiding students through mentorship, due to my immigrant roots, and navigating higher education all on my own. 

I have 15+ years in Admissions and as an Adjunct Faculty member on-site and online. I assist students and their family as they explored different programs of interest, educated familiesand students with financial aid programs, developed enriching curriculums, and provided all other logistical support needs during the admissions process. There may be obstacles for students deterring them to be their best academic self with issue that root from anxiety, family dynamics, stress, relationships, and finances; however, I’m here for you.

I am here to serve the community with my experience and passion, and the belief that each person should be given the opportunity to shine.
