Counselor 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.
