My name is Cynthia Delgadillo and I am a transfer admission counselor. I’m from Blue Island, a southwest suburb of Chicago. I fell in love with DePaul being a transfer student myself and began my career in the Office of Admission after graduation. I’ve been at ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ for over 15 years and am a proud Double Demon, having earned both my bachelor’s and master’s in education.

I chose to work in admission because I like helping students. Specifically, I like working with students that have transfer credit because I understand the excitement and frustrations that come in choosing an institution to complete their bachelor’s degree. I enjoy connecting with students and setting up a specific plan for them to ease the transfer process.

I enjoy finding new restaurants for brunch as well as watching movies and shows on Netflix. My kids and I love to go to the beach or pool in the summer months. I am fluent in Spanish as well and am here to help with the transfer process.

Hi! I’m Melissa and I’m originally from Providence, Rhode Island. I currently live in San Diego, California with my 7-year-old American Bully. I have a Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Studies and Spanish, a Master’s in Higher Education and a MBA. I have worked in Higher Education for the last 7 years. I started my career in Housing and made a smooth transition to Admissions, which I have loved. I enjoy working with students and supporting/ encouraging them to be the best version of themselves through their educational journey. I am excited to help prospectives students find a home at ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ!

In addition to my educational and professional background, during my free time you can find me working out, working with kids (I was a full time nanny for two years), traveling, at beach and spending time with my friends

Hello! My name is Kyra Frazier and I am a transfer admissions counselor here at ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ. I am originally from the Atlanta metropolitan area. I attended Brandeis University in Waltham, MA and graduated with a B.A. in Anthropology and African/African American Studies. My experience in admission began at Emory University in Atlanta, where I worked as a first-year admission counselor for three years.

My passion for increased access and opportunities for underrepresented students is central to my work in admission. I am dedicated to serving students from all academic backgrounds, but specifically transfer students. I truly enjoy connecting with students to help them evolve into the leaders, builders, and speakers of the future. Being aligned with DePaul's mission allows me the opportunity to make higher education more accessible to all.

As a recent Chicago transplant, you'll find me exploring the city's incredible eats, various festivals, and breathtaking views. I am an avid sweet-tea lover and a self-taught, freelance, makeup artist in my free time. I look forward to connecting with many of you!

For my entire career, my goal has been to create equity and access to higher education. I have over 23 years of working in education. I have worked as a public-school college counselor, a community college advisor, and as an admission counselor. I believe in helping all types of students gain access to their higher education goals! I was a transfer student myself, so I understand the challenges transfer students can face.

In addition to my education and professional career, my love of music, art, travel, photography, film, and storytelling influences everything I do. When I am not on one of my long walks or watching my teenage son rock out on his bass with his band in Austin, I can be found looking for new or used vinyl at one of the many record shops around town, listening to music, or planning my next trip to Chicago! I am currently the Texas Representative for Transfer Students at DePaul, and I couldn't be more excited!

Fun Fact: I have one of only two known photos of (an actual relative of mine). It is published in the January 2018 National Geographic magazine, and it is also displayed at the Harvard Countway Library Medical Museum in Boston.

My name is David Villarroel and I am a proud product of the Illinois transfer system. After graduating from College of DuPage with my Associates of Arts, I transferred to Northern Illinois University to pursue my bachelor’s degree. Within a few years of graduating from NIU I found myself employed at College of DuPage in the office of academic affairs and withing a few months I found my true calling, to assist and empower transfer students. During my 10 years at College of DuPage I served as an academic advisor and transfer coordinator and learned the many intricacies that make up the uniqueness of our transfer population.

I have been with DePaul for the past 13 years, and each day I am grateful and encouraged by the possibilities DePaul has to offer. The decision to change jobs, work in the city, and take on new roles and responsibilities pale in comparison to what DePaul has giving me back and I want every student I meet to benefit from the same challenges and opportunities ahead of their academic journeys.

In my spare time I love to travel, road trips are on the top of my list, my wife and I have driven in forty-one different states, eight countries, and three continents. I enjoy architecture, photography, and take care of a family of kitties. I am fluent in Spanish, so do not be shy si tienes pregunats sobre DePaul.

My name is Madeline Walsh and I am a transfer admissions counselor. I am originally from Cannon Falls, Minnesota, and I completed my B.A. in Public Relations at Hofstra University.

I have spent the entirety of my career working with transfer students. Every student deserves the opportunity to achieve their educational goals and I am dedicated to helping my students accomplish theirs. I love working with students one-on-one to ensure they have a comprehensive, customized plan to transfer.

In my free time, I love exploring Chicago and finding new restaurants to frequent. But, in my opinion, there’s nothing better than curling up on the couch with my two cats at the end of a long day.

Originally from Wrigleyville, Chicago (born and raised Cubs fan). Fun fact: I worked at Wrigley Field for four years while a student at ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ. I am a Double Demon. What does that mean? I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Education in Counseling at ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ.

I love working with Transfer students and helping you finish what you started. I believe in the mission, vision, purpose and values of ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ. Seeing them reflected throughout the curriculum and throughout the University as a whole is meaningful. Having loved my college experience, I find there is no better way to share that than to be an admission counselor. I am honored to represent ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±¼Ç¼×ÊÁÏ to prospective students.
