Most recently I served as the College Counselor at the American School of Madrid, an independent, international IB high school. My students were a diverse international population that applied to colleges and universities in multiple countries in Asia, North America, and Europe.. Prior to this counseling position, I was an admissions officer at a variety of institutions ranging from the Ivy League to large research universities to women’s colleges–specifically, Cornell University, Smith College, The School for International Training, University of Massachusetts Amherst and Mount Holyoke College. This combination of experiences has rounded out and broadened my professional understanding of the university admissions process from both the high school and college sides. At Cornell University, I served as a member of the College of Arts and Sciences’ admissions committee, which read and decided on applications. It was then clear to me what I wanted to do moving forward. At both Mount Holyoke and Smith College, I traveled extensively for recruitment and alumni work, trained staff, and supervised student volunteers and part-time interviewers. As Director of Admissions at the School for International Training, I traveled extensively outside of the U.S. recruiting students and representing the school’s study abroad portfolio, and undergraduate and graduate programs. At the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I evaluated international transcripts, read international freshman applications, coordinated the second bachelor's degree program, and served as a transfer counselor.
