It is incredibly rewarding to help students navigate the college search and application process. I am proud to be a member of the Macalester community and the work done to ensure access and affordability for our students.<\/p>\n<p><b>Community Involvement<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>Before joining the Macalester community, I served as an Admission Counselor at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, MN where I also served as an Inclusive Recruitment Coordinator. I serve in a variety of capacities in different spaces in higher education via an advisory board for a college access non-profit in Illinois, committees within the MN Association for College Admission Counseling, and on my alma mater&#8217;s Alumni Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p><b>Favorite time of the year at Mac<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I love winter! The snow, activities, and warm drinks all make campus feel extra cozy and welcoming. Campus and Saint Paul are beautiful following a snow storm and everything is freshly plowed and swept away. Get a good pair of boots and you will enjoy our winters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Love about the Twin Cities<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>The Twin Cities have diverse neighborhoods, nationally ranked bike infrastructure, green spaces you can lose yourself in, award winning food, so much theatre, and a whole lot of art that make the metro area a special place to live. I have a deep appreciation for the Twin Cities and have loved calling MN home.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":238,"featured_media":781,"template":"","class_list":["post-506","profile","type-profile","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.4 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Why I chose Admissions and Financial Aid My passion for admissions and college affordability comes from a love of the Liberal Arts education and a commitment to educational access.
