Raised in a small town in New England, I began my westward journey in college.  My first stop was Rochester, NY (a reasonable trek from my home town).  After earning my degree in Biology, I knew I wasn’t quite ready to settle on a single path, so I looked for a place where I could work, take classes, and figure out what came next.  That journey eventually brought me to Denver, where the sun-to-cloud ratio was a very welcome change from upstate New York!

I have spent more than 20 years working in the University of Denver’s Admission Office, with much of that time focused on helping transfer students navigate their journey to DU.  As someone who has transferred colleges myself, I understand that the path to a bachelor’s degree doesn’t always look the way you initially imagined, and there can be plenty of twists, turns, and questions along the way.  I love helping students figure out their options, understand the process, and discover whether DU might be the right next step for them.

When I’m not working, I’m pursuing my second bachelor’s degree in Studio Art, when my schedule allows (though I am also currently contemplating Business Analytics).  I’m also happiest behind a camera, exploring the outdoors and taking photographs just for fun.

If there is one piece of advice I would give anyone considering college, it’s this: ask questions. Whether you’re unsure about the process, your options, transferring credits, or even how to decide whether DU is a good fit, we’re here to help.  You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out.
