    I have been an admissions professional since 1983, and a specialist in international medical admissions since 2002. I take great pleasure and pride in recommending deserving, qualified applicants for an opportunity to become caring, compassionate, licensed physicians in the United States. I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA.

     

    I live in Orlando, Florida, with my wife of 22 years, Kimberly, and my fifteen-year old daughter.

     

    We enjoy all of the great weather and activities that Central Florida has to offer, and we have visited most of the major National Parks and several European countries.  I enjoy following politics and other current events, walking and following the fortunes of my favorite team, the Boston Red Sox!

    Being part of the AUA family has been one of the best things that have happened to me, and the learning and growth curve that AUA has afforded has made the job exciting, fulfilling and challenging.

     

     Originally from hospitality background (management trainee with the TajGroup), my natural empathy and people skills were honed with every move and new experience. Working with Dr Steven Covey, I soon learnt how each attribute can be a compliment to company ethos and success. Coming from a very academic family, and not being an honors student was a challenge, but it also taught me patience and achievement. My baptism by fire was to take over recruiting for a group that represented universities in UK, Ireland and Australia. But, I was hooked and I think, I manage to bring all these traits to the fore when talking to, counseling or just listening to the students and parents. I am proud of the sense of comfort and confidence I am able to project  and convey.

     

    Being from India, I am able to relate and understand the Indian descent parents and students and answer their concerns and issues. This has also meant a lot of networking with the diaspora to spread the word and create a tremendous awareness of our programs. This has led to more opportunities to help the company grow with affiliations and branding.

     

    Living in beautiful Hudson valley (god’s own palette), I love being home with my almost human Boxer/ shepherd mix, taffy and my son who tolerates us both. Reading, television, especially British drama, friends, travel and eating out are my relaxation. 

     

    Having lived in many continents and travelled extensively, I am very comfortable meeting and interacting with folks from every strata of Life.

    I have been involved in the admissions process for over fifteen years and, at AUA, also function as the Alumni Relations Director.  I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree at Queens College.   I have been with AUA since February, 2004 when we ushered in the first class.  I consider myself to be so fortunate to have spoken with our students when they first enrolled and see them graduate and begin their residencies.  I cannot think of anything better than to be involved with students on both ends.  I have always enjoyed speaking with prospective students about their aspirations, and aiding them as they consider our program.  I truly love what I do.  

     

    I enjoy being at home and traveling with my wife.  We enjoy exploring ethnic restaurants and all of the diversity that New York City has to offer as well as hiking and enjoying the outdoors.

    I have been with AUA College of Medicine since 2006. Prior to AUA I was a case manager for a Mental Healthcare agency for three years before making the switch to higher education. I enjoy working in this dynamic field where I am able to help students  pursue their dreams of becoming physicians. The position allows me to travel throughout the U.S., meeting new and interesting people every day. I have a BA in Art Therapy and more recently completed my Master’s in School Counseling where I am now certified in NY state.

     

    In my spare time I am a personal trainer where I get to combine my love for fitness and helping others.

    I have been helping students along their career path for ten years, most recently joining the American University of Antigua Admissions team in 2008 as an Associate Director of Admissions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the College of Wooster in Communication Studies and am currently pursuing a Masters of Business Administration from Plymouth State University. I am familiar with the hard work and dedication it takes to achieve a graduate degree and manage all the other aspects of life.

     

    Representing AUA in the Midwest Region has been a rewarding experience. I enjoy meeting potential students from around the world that are attending colleges and universities here, with a common goal of becoming a doctor.

     

    Growing up in Sandusky, Ohio and enjoying outdoor activities on Lake Erie, boating became my hobby. As a current member and past president of the Wooster Ohio Exchange Club, I contribute to a community service organization that focuses on making the community a better place to live through programs in Americanism, community service and youth activities.  I currently reside in Poland, Ohio with my wife where together we enjoy traveling and the outdoors with our two sons.

    I’ve been a member of the AUA admissions team since 2009, having worked as an admissions officer for eight years prior.  I have earned a BS in Business from Keene State College in 2000 and an MBA from Plymouth State University in 2010.

     

    I am privileged to represent AUA at colleges and universities all over the New England States, as well as managing student enrollment for our MHA and MPA affiliate schools, and I’m a frequent responder to the AUA Student Facebook page.

     

    I’m always on the lookout for a great adventure professionally and personally.  I’ve run marathons, jumped out of airplanes and on my next trip to Antigua I plan to zip line through the rain forest. I married my husband, Eric in a baseball stadium and our greatest adventure has been parenting our two-year old daughter together.

     

    I’m passionate about the AUA mission to alleviate the shortage of physicians in the U.S, and I look forward to meeting you and assisting you in achieving your dream.

    I have always believed that education is one of the greatest achievements any one of us can accomplish. The more knowledgeable we are, the better equipped we will be to face the countless challenges life throws our way. This is why I have been involved in the educational field since my college years. I started by counseling and guiding low-income families helping their high-school students gain admissions into some of the best universities in Chicago. I graduated from the University of Illinois with a B.A. and I am currently pursuing an MBA. I have over eleven years of experience working as a professional in the field of university admissions. I started with AUA in early 2009 and thoroughly enjoy counseling applicants through the medical school application process. 

     

    Most of my free time is spent with my beautiful wife and two young kids. If I am not with them, you will find me playing or watching soccer. I also enjoy politics, reading, building model airplanes and volunteering at my local church.

    I joined AUA in August 2009 and have greatly enjoyed my experience with the university.  I graduated from Elmira College in upstate New York in 2009 and spent four years there as an admissions liaison.  This certainly helped pave the way to a career with the American University of Antigua.  With a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and physician shadowing/volunteering under belt, I am fully aware of what is expected of pre-medical students.  It is a long and arduous road; however, I am here to help out as much as possible.

     

    I live on eastern Long Island and responsible for traveling to the various colleges throughout the state.  I enjoy holding presentations, conducting interviews, and meeting with the many pre-health advisors in New York.  This is a large state and it keeps me occupied for much of the fall and spring months.  Finally, I am privileged to initiate articulation agreements with local universities as well as host faculty advisor trips to Antigua.

     

    I am an avid follower (and former player) of lacrosse and soccer.  You will most likely catch me at the United States – Antigua World Cup qualifying matches later this summer and fall.  I certainly enjoy traveling and have studied abroad in five countries, most notably living in France for a year.  Learning to snowboard in the alps was certainly a treat.  I have been to Antigua numerous times, for both business and vacation, and always have a great experience there.  It is a wonderful island to visit and of course to attend medical school.

    I have been an admissions professional since 2005, and my experience to date has solely been in offshore medical admissions since that time.  I pride myself in embracing a career geared around providing qualified applicants the opportunity to become caring, compassionate, licensed physicians in the United States.  I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree from The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM.

     

    I’m a Caribbean native,  grew up in South Florida, and have been a resident of perpetually sunny San Diego, CA for the past 4 years. ( Aside from college, I obviously love the ocean.) In addition to spending time with my wife and our 5 month old son,  I enjoy socc… (sorry) FOOTBALL, both FIFA and the odd American game played in the NFL. I also enjoy auto racing, basketball, and most Olympic sports. I’m a health and  fitness buff,  and enjoy a number of outdoor activities, preferably anything on or near the water.

    I am part of the AUA admissions family, representing Northern California and the states of the Northwest. It is a pleasure to work for AUA and to support its mission of creating a learner-centric experience. My hope is that this begins with the application process. I have been honored to work with some amazing students through AUA and am in awe of their determination, their understanding of medicine and their desire for new experiences and adventure. I am also proud to represent a beautiful and culturally diverse region. I look forward to each interview and am here to help you begin working on your goal to become a doctor.

     

    My passion is higher education and have worked within the field for my whole professional career; including academic outreach for the University of California system, housing, judicial affairs, and student leadership. I earned my Masters of Arts in Higher Education Administration and Leadership from San Jose State University and have a science background with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from University of California, Santa Cruz.

     

    I love to travel which makes this job twice as fun. I have been to all 50 states of the United States of America and have had the privilege of traveling throughout Mexico, Canada, Sri Lanka, Singapore and Italy. Now, thanks to AUA, I have added Antigua to the list. When I am not out traveling, I enjoy being with my family, riding our bikes through town and watching movies on Friday nights.

    I joined AUA in January of 2012. I began my journey in education in 2002, when I took my first position in higher education. It was through this position that my career in Higher Education began and I found my passion for serving others through assisting students in their pursuit of obtaining a quality education.  Before joining the AUA family I served as the Director of Continuing Education for Saint Leo University.  

     

    Every day I have the privilege of assisting students on an educational journey that leads to the achievement of their dream of becoming a physician. There is nothing like the feeling that you get when you attend graduation each year and see all the students that you have worked with walk across the stage and receive their degree.  I am honored to play a small part in helping to transform lives; just as these soon to be physicians will transform the lives those that they serve.  It is a truly humbling experience and I am privileged to be a part of this educational journey. 

     

    When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, shopping, museums, working out, and taking advantage of all that my wonderful City of Atlanta has to offer.

I hold a Master of Arts Degree in Educational Psychology.  What I enjoy most about my role at AUA, is having the opportunity to meet students from all walks of life, and learn about their unique stories and experiences that have led them to pursue the challenging, yet very rewarding field of medicine.

     

    Although I am originally from New York, I have lived in New Jersey for the past 8 years.  I feel fortunate to have “the best of both worlds”, as I can enjoy all of the great things that New York City has to offer, along with the tranquility of small town living.

    Little did I know when I completed my Bachelors in Arts and Education, I would be helping students make their decision in pursuing medical education. After I augmented my Bachelor degree with an MBA in Human Resources and Marketing Management, I joined the Manipal Group, the largest private education and healthcare institution in India with presence in several countries, beginning my sojourn into the education services. I joined the AUA admission team in the fall of 2011. My experience in many cultural settings helps me bring students closer to their dreams.

     

    I relate to Forest Witcraft’s poem “One Hundred Years from Now” and firmly believe that I have been chosen to be an important step in a student’s pursuit of medical education by recommending prospective and deserving students and see them realize their dream of becoming a physician.

     

    I love cooking, reading (and of course shopping), working out in gym – spinning is my recent passion. I enjoy spending time with my husband, Prabhu and my daughter, Pari.
