Biography

Hello there! :)

I vividly remember how stressful, overwhelming yet meaningful my own college search was. It’s truly a privilege to now be on the other side, helping students and families navigate this important journey. During my undergraduate years, I served as a student representative for my college’s admissions office and quickly discovered a deep passion for the work. Welcoming prospective students, leading campus tours, and supporting families through the admissions process was incredibly rewarding and helped shape my professional path.

I’ve always loved how lush and beautiful Oberlin’s campus is; its rich history and strong sense of community make it such a special place. I’m really excited to be part of the team that gets to share what makes Oberlin so unique with future students!

In addition to being an admissions counselor, I am a professional classical and jazz flutist—I perform with orchestras and bands all around the Northeast Ohio area. During my free time, I love to jam with friends, attend concerts, and cook Korean food. I am also passionate about rescuing and fostering stray cats, and have two ADORABLE kitties of my own named Oyster and Swiper!

Thank you for stopping by and reading this. I hope I get to meet you on my travels or on campus!
