Meet Tina! 

At Misericordia I work with first-year students from out-of-state territories that aren’t covered by the other admissions counselors. I also support spring semester freshmen and coordinate major on-campus recruitment events such as Admitted Student Day, Open House, and Preview Days.

The best part of my job is getting to see the full journey that students take. I love meeting them when they’re just starting their college search, guiding them through the admissions process, and then seeing them on campus at orientation. Watching those same students walk across the stage at graduation is such a rewarding, full-circle moment.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends—especially anywhere near the water. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do; I truly believe everyone deserves a little rest and relaxation.

My favorite spot on campus is Mercy Hall. It’s not only where my office is located, but also the oldest and most iconic building at Misericordia.

My advice for incoming students is to get involved and make connections. The friendships and relationships you build here will make your college experience even more meaningful and will stay with you long after you graduate.

Misericordia is a special place because it’s more than a university—it’s a community that genuinely cares. From the supportive faculty and staff to the close-knit campus environment, it’s a place that helps you grow personally and academically while creating lifelong memories.

For parents, know that your student will be supported every step of the way. With small classes, caring professors, career preparation, and wellness resources, Misericordia ensures students have everything they need to succeed. Most importantly, they’re surrounded by a community that truly wants to see them thrive both in and out of the classroom.
