Favorite thing about North Central:
The people. Everyone I know here is friendly and welcoming, whether they are faculty, staff, or students. There is no doubt that North Central has a close-knit campus community.

Words I use to describe North Central students:

While there are so many adjectives that could accurately describe them, I would have to say that North Central students are well-rounded. The wide variety of campus activities and events available to students allow them to be involved in many ways.

Why did I choose to become an Admission Counselor at North Central?
I know from firsthand experience and from teaching experience that the college application process is a stressful time for high school students. For this reason, I want to be able to personally help relieve some of this stress as well as guide students in the pursuit of their future goals through a quality, academically-esteemed institution like North Central.

Favorite Naperville Restaurant:
It’s probably a toss-up between Mongolian BBQ and Ted’s Montana Grill. Places that have many options and where I can get a lot of food!

Favorite Season in Naperville: 
Definitely Spring. After a long Winter, there is nothing better than the first warm day of Spring. Plus, I like the rain and the transformation of the landscape from brown to green.

 Advice to Students:

Research as much as you can about the schools you are applying to. The more you know about a college, the better you will be at determining if it is right for you. It makes the entire process easier and less intimidating.
