My favorite part of my job is working with students to pursue the dream of going to college.
If I weren’t an admissions director, I would be a high school guidance counselor.
My favorite thing about Carolina is the community of students and the pride they exhibit every day. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t see at least 50 students wearing a Carolina shirt.
The longest airline journey I’ve ever experienced was a flight from Charlotte, NC to Munich, Germany with my father. We cruised around the Mediterranean visiting 6 different countries including Egypt and Greece.
If I could be an undergraduate all over again, studying at Carolina, I would major in everything. There are so many great opportunities available to Carolina students that were never available to me.
My best memory from my undergraduate experience is giving a tour to a student who decided to enroll on the spot.
Bob declined to submit a photograph. So I drew a picture of him. He looks just like that, promise!
