Favorite class: My favorite class was Introduction to Sociology. I learned to apply sociological concepts to everyday life to better understand how society affects individual behavior. My positive experience influenced me to declare sociology as a major.
Favorite
professor: Pitzer has great professors, however, some professors are more
special than others because they go the extra mile. I’m happy to say that Dr.
Alicia Bonaparte is a part of this special group. She is a great professor,
role model, and friend. I am grateful for her mentorship. She helped me survive
college.
What keeps you
busy now: I am an admission counselor at Chapman University. We are
currently finalizing travel arrangements and working on special projects to
promote diversity on campus. With travel season nearby, we are super busy in
the office.
Top networking
tip: It never hurts to ask for help. People love talking about their
profession. You should always seek advice from people who are experts in their
field.
How did you get
into your current line of work: Throughout college, I worked for the Office
of Admission as a tour guide and admission fellow. After graduation, I noticed
an opening at Chapman and immediately applied. I was hired within a few weeks
and fell in love with the job. It is always a privilege when you get to help
students navigate the college selection process.
