E:jgambier01@manhattan.eduCounselor Territory: Nationwide with a primary focus on the Northeast region
More about me: Born and raised in central New York, I grew up in a small town so I appreciate the Riverdale neighborhood's atmosphere. I'm an avid hiker so you can find me in the Catskills or Adirondacks on weekends. On weekdays I'll be visiting community colleges in the region telling students about everything that Manhattan University has to offer.
Favorite thing about Manhattan University: What I like most about our university is the location. We've got a subway stop, we're right next to Van Cortlandt Park, and unlike most universities in the boroughs we have a proper campus with residence halls. It's unique to offer the traditional college experience with all the conveniences of living in the city.
Favorite thing about New York City: There's being a lifelong upstate New Yorker, and then there's being a true New Yorker. I love living and working in one of the world's great centers of culture. I grew up a Yankees and Knicks fan, and it's an altogether different experience being a fan when you live here.
Advice for future students: I'll encourage prospective students to embrace the process. Explore all options and weigh the pros and cons. You'll find that Manhattan has a lot to offer academically, and New York City provides limitless opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.

More about me: I was born and raised just outside of New York City in Westchester County, NY. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Manhattan University. My family has deep roots in the Bronx area around Manhattan University, so returning to help students and their families is a privilege. Outside of Manhattan University and as a lifelong nerd, I spend my weekends watching reruns of Star Trek, playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends, and debating which is the best superhero team. My favorite aspect of the University is the people. The students, the faculty, and staff are the shining stars of Manhattan University. Each member of the Jasper community is always supportive and uplifting to their fellow Jaspers.
Favorite thing about New York City: Easily, my favorite thing about New York City is its ongoing evolution. Each time you step on to the street, the city has something new to offer. Between new Broadway shows, art gallery openings, and off the beaten track restaurants, every experience of the city is new and unique.
Advice for future students: Try a little of everything! Manhattan University is the best place to explore anything and everything that piques your interest. So take that random philosophy class or join an intramural sport that you’ve never heard of before. You never know where the adventure is going to take you but your fellow Jaspers have your back!
