Favorite thing about North Central: I love how welcoming everyone is and how strong the community is! Wherever you go on campus you're always welcomed with a smile! The second you step on campus, you feel as if you've always been part of the community. At North Central, you definitely feel at home.
Words I use to describe North Central students: Ambitious, hard-working, intelligent, and passionate - to name a few!
Why did I choose to become an Admission Counselor/staff member at North Central? I enjoy working in admission and love helping students navigate through their collegiate career! My goal is to be the best resource for students, in order to make their transition as smooth as possible. I also love North Central's emphasis on diversity and sustainability, as well as their liberal arts background!
