Director of Student Recruitment & Admissions

I graduated from Newton County High School, earned a bachelor’s in Communication from University of Georgia, a master’s in Public Administration from Kennesaw State University, and my doctorate in Higher Education from the University of Alabama. I am honored to be a part of KSU’s phenomenal growth as we have transitioned from a commuter school to the 3rd largest university in the state attracting traditional students throughout the world. As director, I do a little bit of everything and focus much attention on event planning, marketing, project management, home school students, and athletic admissions to name a few.

I am originally from Venezuela, and moved to Georgia in 2000 to pursue a college degree at Kennesaw State. I graduated from KSU with a BA in International Affairs and a MS in Conflict Management.

Also, I was an active member of the International Student Association, I gave campus tours and worked in the Admissions Office. I manage the recruitment territories and data management for SRA.
