  Why Heritage Hall?

  I joined the HH community because of the importance of developing well-rounded students who can be influential beyond these walls after graduation. I love the focus on athletics, arts and academics, and it is why I have enjoyed my time here!

  My philosophy on college counseling

  It is important to include the entire student experience when counseling students through the college admissions process. It is not about the name of the college; it’s most important to focus on the student’s match with a college.

  Fun fact: I am the youngest of 13 siblings!

  My philosophy on college counseling

  There is a path and place for everyone. Guiding students through discernment and helping them discover their future paths is the best part of the job! Counseling students toward their future begins with focusing on the whole student.

  Why Heritage Hall?

  When I first arrived on campus, HH immediately felt familiar. Having come directly from a career in college admissions, I was surprised by how quickly I felt at home. As I got to know the staff, learned about HH’s values and met our incredible students, I realized why. It reminded me so much of my alma mater. At HH, the focus is on developing the whole student while always putting students and their individual interests first. Whether their passions lie in the performing arts, athletics, community service or another pursuit, HH is committed to helping every student grow, succeed and thrive.

  My philosophy on college counseling

  I believe it’s important to humanize the college admissions process. For many students and families, it can feel daunting, confusing and overwhelmingly competitive. By helping them understand each step, stay organized and approach the journey thoughtfully, our office can transform what often feels like a stressful experience into one that is empowering and rewarding.

  Fun fact: I have lived in five states!
