What I do every day and how I can help you…
I manage the Office of Admissions & Advising where I am responsible for providing you with a phenomenal student experience. Through local outreach, group events, and one-on-one counseling, this team will provide you with the expertise required not only to become a college student, but also to become a college graduate!

My favorite thing about Quincy College is…
The diversity! You might be five or ten miles from home, but you are meeting students and faculty who have traveled to and from every corner of the globe. Whether you are a military veteran, a recent high school grad, or a mom or dad…or grandma or grandpa!...returning to college, I know you will identify with, and learn from, your peers in the classroom. The breadth of world experience that Quincy College offers its students is unparalleled.

What I do every day and how I can help you...
I am there for every student every day. From the beginning to the end of their experience at Quincy College, I advise them on course selection and help them create schedules that are appropriate for their degree plan and in alignment with their personal and professional lives outside of school. As they approach the end of their college experience here, I assist them with the transfer process to four-year colleges.

My favorite thing about Quincy College is...
the students! And the institution that serves them in two convenient and strategic locations -- Quincy and Plymouth. It is great to be able to offer students a variety of degree and certificate programs that are relevant to today's business climate and suited to students' goals. Another great advantage for students is the flexibility of class schedules, from traditional day and evening 15-week schedules to 5- and 10-week classes, tandem classes, and more . . . The great thing about the Plymouth campus is access to all the services available in Quincy, such as Financial Aid and Student Support Services, as well as easy access to faculty and staff, who are ready and more than willing to assist the students.

On a daily basis, I meet with prospective and current students with the admissions process and advising for program requirements. I am also responsible for the Practical Nurse admissions process. I am ready to answer any questions that you might have.

My favorite thing about Quincy College is…
Seeing students from different walks of life graduating and advancing their professional careers. I also like the location, which is very convenient for our local students and all of our halls are just steps away from the public transportation for our commuter students.

What I do every day and how I can help you…
As an Admissions & Advising Associate, I can assist students with applications and class advising for any of our degree or certificate programs. I am happy to spend as much time as necessary to ensure that students are properly advised and are on the right track for their majors. I can also assist students with questions about transferring to other institutions.

My favorite thing about Quincy College is…
The wide variety of degrees/certificates and the instructors that teach them! At Quincy College, we offer degrees that suit the needs of many different students. There are business, computer science, healthcare, liberal arts degrees as well as certificates in accounting, computer science, and practical nursing among others.

Also, the instructors that teach in these programs are top notch and truly receptive to students’ needs. They really take the time to listen to students. In addition to the attention students get in their classes, QC has a Learning Center on campus where tutoring and extra help can be attained free of charge.
