Admissions Counselor

I first visited Tufts when I was 10 years old. Yes, you read that right: I was 10. I haven’t stopped thinking about my visit to campus since that day. 

While my passion for Tufts began in middle school, my desire to help students and be in the Admissions field has remained consistent throughout my adult life. I first worked for the undergraduate admissions office at my alma mater, and later worked in the college counseling space, advising Boston-area seniors, and their families, through the college application and financial aid processes, and supporting juniors as they began the search process. 

Through these blogs, my goal is to share my knowledge with you, and ultimately, to empower students and families (and even school counselors!) as they navigate their way through the college application process.
