Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Mid-Atlantic Regional Director - U of Rochester
I am the Mid-Atlantic Regional Director of Admissions covering WV, VA, DC, MD, DE, PA, NJ for the University of Rochester. I graduated from the University in 2007 and joined the Admissions office shortly after. I came from Brooklyn, NY and really enjoyed my undergraduate experience at Rochester. As a student, I was involved in a variety of extracurricular activities, some of which includes my involvement in diversity related work on campus, serving as a member of several cultural groups, engineering societies, dance groups, and publications on campus. Academically, I majored in African & African-American Studies with a cluster in Political Economy, and Engineering Design. I also earned a Management Study Certificate by taking courses offered through the Simon School of Business. I am happy to share my experience with you and answer any questions you may have about Rochester.
