I joined College Coach after working at the Office of Undergraduate Admission at Brown University, where I evaluated thousands of applications for first-year and transfer students and acted as a member of the admission committee. In addition, I redesigned Brown's campus visit experience, planned student fly-in overnight programs, and organized admitted student programming.
Prior to Brown, I was a senior fellow and diversity, inclusion, and access intern in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Middlebury College where I hosted prospective student information sessions and answered questions on student life and admissions.
