Renee Roush, College Counselor
Renee earned both her Bachelor's degree in Psychology and her Master's in Higher Education Administration from the University of Delaware. Since then, she's been immersed with college students, everything from the admissions process to teaching collegiate classes.
She started her career in Admissions at the University of Delaware, and then headed to DC to serve as the Associate Director of Student Activities, Involvement, & First Year Programs at The George Washington University. After testing the waters outside of education for a bit- and finding it was nowhere near as awesome- Renee returned to GWU as Associate Director of Admissions, where she also served as an adjunct faculty member in Outdoor and Environmental Education. After GW, she was an application reader for Columbia University for several years, before hopping to “the other side of the desk” as the Freshman Dean and College Counselor at Highland School in Warrenton, VA.
In her spare time, she has run a custom bakery, is a runner and a hiker, and has read pretty much every non-fiction rock climbing book out there (though she's terrified of climbing). Renee lives in Virginia with her husband, two school-aged children, and a Siberian Husky named Nika who might be an aspiring circus acrobat.
