Transfer Admissions Counselor

When I first came to school, I was very reserved. I am still a quiet person, but I’ve grown so much in my time here at Clarke as a student and I didn’t want that to end. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned and help the next generation of students as they come to Clarke. It’s important they see that it’s OK to feel a little uncomfortable because that means you are growing.

First-Year Admissions Counselor

I’m a proud Clarke graduate. Between our caring approach to education, the campus environment, the opportunities for students and the doors that opened for me after I received my degree – I found my college experience to be quite rewarding. Clarke has even more to offer students now compared to when I was in school, so I’m very excited to share with you why I loved attending Clarke, and why I admire this place even more today.

As a recent graduate from Clarke, I am well versed in everything Clarke has to offer. From the care and support you get from professors and peers, to the smaller class sizes, all the way to having the world’s BEST cookies, there are endless reasons why Clarke was the best option for me. We truly are a community here and everyone you meet is looking to see you succeed. I look forward to getting to share why I chose Clarke, and why you should too! I can’t wait to CU on campus!
