What I like most about my job?
I am an alumnus and I love Towson University. I enjoy recruiting students and assisting
them throughout the admissions process, as well as connecting with them. Also, as
an admissions counselor, I love seeing students' faces and their reactions when they
get admitted and enroll at TU.
My warm and fuzzy moment.
My warm and fuzzy moment happened when I was selected to be on the front cover of
Tiger Family Pride, which is a magazine for families of TU students. I was also featured
in a story about non-traditional student success in the magazine. Check out the link,
here.
Why I work in admissions?
I work in admissions because I want to help change lives by giving students an opportunity
to further their education.
