Biography

As a first-generation college graduate, I know how overwhelming and amazing the college search can be. During my undergraduate years, I served as a student ambassador in admissions and worked as a student onboarding coordinator. These roles deepened my commitment to supporting students as they transition into college life. Helping others feel welcomed, informed, and excited about their journey quickly became one of the most rewarding parts of my college experience.

One of the reasons I love being part of the Oberlin community is that this place truly lives its values. Oberlin champions academic curiosity, fearless creativity, and a deep-rooted commitment to making a difference. It is a place where people care about each other and about contributing to the world. Whether you are exploring in the classroom, creating in the conservatory, or connecting with others across campus, Oberlin encourages you to be your authentic self.

I am ecstatic to be part of a college that celebrates individuality and inspires students to be brave, bold, and genuinely curious. Helping future Obies find their place here and watching them thrive is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work. I cannot wait to see where your journey takes you.
