Hi! I am the Associate Director of Remote Recruitment. I joined Husson in September 2017 and bring a vast amount of recruiting experience in higher education to the University. This includes two years as a graduate admissions representative for a University in Tennessee. I graduated from Herkimer County Community College before transferring to Mansfield University of Pennsylvania where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in 2005. I also went on to earn my Master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania in 2010. I realize how hard it can be to navigate through the transfer admissions process and I am here to help make this process as smooth as possible. Fun fact about me: I was the head track and field coach at a University for eight years.
