Before joining the admissions team, I worked at a non-profit helping high school students apply to top colleges all over the country. Getting to know my students’ personal stories by reading hundreds of college essays was one of my favorite parts of the job. During my two years, I learned a lot about what different universities have to offer their students and, when I decided to switch over to admissions work, I knew there was no better place for me than Binghamton.

Binghamton University stood out to me because of the incredible value that we offer our students. I attended a private university for undergrad and, while I loved my experience there and will always be a proud alumna, I paid the high private schoolcost for the same experiences Binghamton students get.


I’ve worked with hundreds of students on college applications, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a student go to the school that is truly the perfect fit for them. So, come visit our campus, reach out to me and ask me questions, and if Binghamton seems like it could be the perfect fit for you, then and I can’t wait to read your application!
