I work with students from the following areas: East Aurora High School, Elgin High School, and Dundee-Crown High School
Advice for Prospective Students: Embrace the opportunity to explore diverse subjects and engage in campus life. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone—join clubs, network with peers and professors, and seek internships or volunteer experiences. Time management is key, so prioritize your academics while maintaining a healthy balance with self-care.
