I have worked in nonprofits (namely museums) and higher education for more than 15 years, and have been fortunate to partner with USC alumni and parent communities at the Gould School of Law, the Viterbi School of Engineering, and the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences\u2014my own alma mater!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why USC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I believe that education is the great equalizer in life; so, when I found an opportunity to raise philanthropic dollars to make a USC education more affordable, I jumped at the chance! Matching people\u2019s passions with USC Dornsife\u2019s needs allowed me to find funding for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/giving\/student-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">experiential learning<\/a>\u00a0opportunities;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/giving\/scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scholarships<\/a>\u00a0and fellowships;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/giving\/dei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diversity, equity and inclusion<\/a>\u00a0programs; and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kuhn.usc.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cancer research<\/a>\u2014all of which are near and dear to my heart. Helping level the higher education playing field by working for the university is one of the greatest privileges of my professional career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite USC Memory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThursday Night at the Movies\u201d a.k.a. CTCS 466: Theatrical Film Symposium, taught by the legendary film critic Leonard Maltin. Taking a class at the best film school in the country (with some of my sorority sisters by my side!), is one of the highlights of my time as an undergraduate, and one that I highly recommend when meeting new parents and students.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite Spot on Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.usc.edu\/trojan-family\/the-little-chapel-of-silence-usc-campus-church-meditation\/\">Little Chapel of Silence<\/a>\u2014blink and you\u2019ll walk right by it! The Chapel is a tiny, quiet nook I discovered during my senior year, and I was fortunate enough to get married there in 2019.
