I work with: Applicants whose last names begin with the letters ‘A’ through ‘E’
I can help you with: Prerequisites, application procedures and interview questions and let you know what’s missing from your file.
What is your best advice for an applicant? My best advice for all applicants would be to stay focused, and to not get discouraged! This is a long process for all of us, and we all need to do our best to communicate with each other. I also would like applicants to know that all of us here in Admissions are here to help you in any situation you may have during the application process.
What do you like most about working with applicants? I really enjoy getting to speak with the applicant over the phone. I am a very understanding and friendly person, so I feel that over the phone, the applicant can feel comfortable asking any questions they may have. The best part about corresponding with applicants is helping them to strengthen their applications so they feel confident throughout this process.
