As a first-generation student/immigrant, higher education has been a life changing experience. Therefore, talking to students and families about the opportunities UAlbany has to offer is always a privilege. Some of my favorite things about Albany is its close proximity to so many great things such as the Adirondack Park, Ski Mountains and lakes. I am also an avid UAlbany lacrosse fan! Go Great Danes!

I’m from Queens, NY and then moved to Long Island. I am a UAlbany alum. I graduated in December 2024 with a double major in Human Development and Psychology. During my time as a student, I was involved as an Ambassador, a Peer Educator, and a volunteer at the Alumni Association. My favorite aspect of campus is our welcoming and diverse campus community!

I recently graduated from UAlbany with a bachelor's degree in public policy. During my time as a student, I discovered my interest in higher education through on-campus leadership opportunities. My previous on-campus experiences include time with Student Activities and Orientation, Student Engagement and as a Peer Advisor in the Academic Support Center. I am currently working toward a Master's Degree in Higher Education.

I’m a native of Livingston County, NY but I’ve been part of the UAlbany family for 20+ years and have seen so many students flourish here then move on to successful careers. The Capital District has so much to offer, both professionally and recreationally. I enjoy the proximity to great skiing as well as the four Greek festivals in the area between May and September!

My favorite part of the UAlbany campus is our state-of-the-art ETEC building; the home of Engineering, Atmospheric Science, and Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security & Cybersecurity programs. University at Albany has become a leader in these areas and as a result, we are attracting students from across the globe.

As a two-time alumna of the University at Albany, I had the privilege of calling the Capital Region my home for a decade. It is where I have developed strong connections with colleagues, students and friends. I am fortunate to have returned to my roots on Long Island as our regionally based Admissions Counselor, giving me the opportunity to be closer to our prospective students and their families. I take great pride in our institution, and my dedication lies in assisting students throughout their college admissions journey.

I'm a proud SUNY alumni and Rochester, NY native. I'm regionally based in New York City, which I've had the pleasure of calling my home for the past 10 years. Living in NYC gives me the opportunity to forge meaningful connections to students across the five boroughs and share with them everything UAlbany has to offer. I have a passion for musical theater and love hiking in the Adirondack Mountains. With UAlbany's wide variety of degrees and programs, I'm confident students will love calling the Capital Region their new home!

As a first-generation college graduate of UAlbany, I have a deep connection to the University and its mission. My journey through higher education has been shaped by my professional background in recruitment, which has equipped me with the skills to support and guide prospective students effectively. Outside of work, I love spending time in nature, easily accessible through the beautiful Adirondack and Catskill Mountains. During the summertime, you can often find me enjoying the Saratoga area, whether attending a concert at SPAC or kayaking on the lake.

I am a native of the Capital Region, hailing from Niskayuna, NY and a proud two-time alum of the University at Albany. What I love most about UAlbany is all the involvement and intercultural opportunities that are available for all students, faculty and staff members. The Albany area itself has so much to offer, but my favorite is going to Indian Ladder Farms to go apple picking during the fall months. The proximity to the Adirondack and Catskill mountains also provides a host of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors of Upstate New York!
