About Me
Though I'm a Pittsburgh native, I have been living in Philadelphia since 2013 and have absolutely loved Philadelphia as my home. In addition to my role in Admissions, I have been teaching Group Fitness classes with Drexel Recreation Center as well as other Philly gyms since 2017. My passions include the great outdoors, good food, health and wellness, and exploring various music genres!

Favorites
Place on Campus:
The Recreation Center — maybe I'm biased, but our gym is one of the best in the area. With cardio equipment, weight training machines, studio spaces, the climbing wall, pool, indoor track, and squash courts, there is something for people of all fitness levels.
Restaurant/Food Truck:
This is hard to choose! With new restaurants opening up so often, I find new favorites all the time. Some of my all-time favorites include El Vez in Center City, Sally in Fitler Square, and Chick's in Graduate Hospital.
Philadelphia Landmark/Location:
There are MANY great landmarks in Philadelphia. Rittenhouse Square is great because there is a large park but also a ton of shops and restaurants nearby if you're in the mood for shopping. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is also iconic if you want to run the Rocky Steps!
