INTRODUCTION
Your college search may be a little different at the moment, but I am here to guide you through it all! Allow me to walk you through each step of the college admissions process, and help you and your family conquer any challenges you may face. Eastern Illinois University offers many opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience both academically and recreationally, as well as provides students the tools for success for years to come. I look forward to welcoming you to the EIU family, future Panther!
About Me: I am a recent graduate of Eastern Illinois University! I spent my four years studying history with a quadruple minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Anthropology, Pre-Modern Global History, and Religious Studies. My extracurriculars mostly involved greek life, as I was a member of Alpha Gamma Delta all four years of college and served as Panhellenic President in 2020. I worked for admissions all four years as a student employee and found a love for higher education, leading me to a job in our admissions office as a counselor.
Advice for Students: My advice for every student is to make it memorable. Whatever that looks like for you, make it memorable and make it count. As a senior getting ready to graduate you will feel like you just blinked and it all flew by, but if you know you stepped out of your comfort zone, challenged yourself, and made friends that will last a life time, you will leave feeling fulfilled and accomplished, with memories that will be with you forever.
