B.A. Theatre
University of Southern California

 

Bio:

I was born and raised in central Arizona, bouncing around from towns so small they had no name, to eventually settle in Chandler. Working with the incredible variety of prospective students at the Admission Center to encourage higher education is an opportunity I’m thankful for every day. In my free time I find myself at the movies, cooking new recipes, painting, and more! Fight On!

Admission Advice:

I always recommend looking into the programs that you’re most interested in: What classes, faculty, research opportunities, social events, etc., light that passion within you? Use those to help write your supplemental essays that ask, “Why do you want to attend this university?” Getting started early also helps to make the process feel much easier, but no matter what, believe that you’ve got this!

Favorite Campus Spot:

Founder’s Park located next to Bovard Auditorium has a deep pit where the original building that housed USC used to be! It’s a fun fact, but also a fun spot to picnic.
