I began my student journey, at Canisius College where I received my Bachelor's Degree in Marketing, Management, and Entrepreneurship. During my time as a student, I knew I wanted to help other students navigate the college search and enjoy their time during their college years. This prompted me to get my Master's Degree in College Student Personal Administration from Canisius College. While finishing my Master's Degree, I worked full-time as a Residence Hall Director at a college right outside of NYC. I loved working in a residence hall, but I always wanted to work in admissions and student recruitment! My move to Atlanta, GA has brought great weather and new adventures. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, volunteering, and learning to cook!

When searching for the right college, my advice would be go in with an open mind, take a campus tour, and ask questions. Although, college websites are great, there is nothing like actually getting on campus and taking it all in. Ask questions, if you don't ask, you will never know!

I am a South Carolina native, and I graduated from Wofford College in 2009 with a B.A. in Intercultural Studies. In college, I traveled abroad and spent a year studying in Tokyo, Japan. I also had the opportunity to spend a semester taking courses at the University of South Carolina while working at The Daily Gamecock, the campus' daily student newspaper. In my free time, I enjoy reading, photography, playing with my dog and regular workouts with P90X.

My advice for the college search process is to utilize social media. When looking for an unbiased view of a school, social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter can be great resources for student opinions, interests and photographs and can be a great way to make friends before you have even moved to campus.
