Bio:  

Growing up just outside of Buffalo, New York, I would never have imagined finding my home in Los Angeles. However, I fell in love with the city and the people almost instantly. I worked in the admission office in various capacities while at Loyola Marymount University, which fueled my passion for higher education. Outside the office, I enjoy keeping myself active by playing tennis and kickball and going for long walks. I can also be found lounging around with my friends and watching good and bad movies. 

Why USC?  

There’s truly something for everyone at USC! There are endless opportunities and resources to take advantage of during your time as a Trojan. You can take a class in a subject you’ve never heard of and discover your true academic journey. You can try a new hobby and find a lifelong passion. Every kind of student can find a place at USC. 

Admission Advice:  

A due date is not a “do” date. There are a lot of different requirements and deadlines when applying to university. Make a checklist of all the different materials you might need. Keep a calendar with important dates and deadlines for your different applications. Give yourself the time and space you need to ensure your application represents your best self.
