Working as a senior interviewer to me was so meaningful that I decided to come back to Grinnell and work full time as an admission counselor. I love taking what I’ve learned as a sociology major at Grinnell to advocate for more equitable admission practices and make Grinnell an even more welcoming place.
One of the biggest perks of my job is getting to reconnect with my Grinnell friends around the country — whether in Portland, the Twin Cities, Chicago, Boston, or more — during my recruitment travel. Plus, thanks to my double major in theatre and dance, I know how to balance creative projects alongside all these adult responsibilities (my Halloween costume last year went off!). Though the world of college admission is rapidly changing, I know that Grinnell has equipped me to successfully fight for what I believe in, and I hope to continue building community and growing into a leader in this field for years to come.
