About Me

Welcome to Chasing College!

My name is Skylar and I recently completed my Master's Degree in  Higher Education Administration. I work as an Assistant Director of Admissions at a private, liberal arts campus in upstate New York, where I was born and raised. 

My love for college began at age 11 when I first saw the Colgate University campus. Its beauty and regalness drew me in at first glance and I have been in love with the concept of college ever since! 

I am writing this blog in hopes of helping answer the "unspoken" questions that students and parents have about the college admissions and transition process. They're the questions we don't want to bother our guidance counselors with, but at the same time, don't want to ask our admissions counselor either. I have worked in Admissions for the past five years; as a student caller, student assistant, and now as a graduate assistant. I am also incredibly grateful for my experiences as a Resident Assistant and as a member of my alma mater's Orientation Executive Committee. All of these experiences have led me to this career and I am so thankful and excited to be helping our youth achieve their dreams of getting a college education and embracing every second of it.
