Marcy Kenney Admission Counselor “I have always loved Boston in the summer. There is nothing better than finding a good food truck, perusing one of the many farmer’s markets, or grabbing a cupcake from one of the bakeries on Newbury Street, and people watching on a warm summer’s day.” Marcy_Kenney@emerson.edu |

Kyle MacDonald Assistant Director Region: CA (Central & Northern) 93200-96199, IN, NH, OH, OR, PA, WA International: Africa, Middle East “My favorite thing to do in Boston is to explore the many green spaces the city has to offer. From the Boston Harbor Islands to the Boston Common and Public Garden (obviously), there are plenty of places from which you can take in the beauty of the city. They’re great places to have a picnic with friends or to read a book quietly by yourself.” Kyle_MacDonald@emerson.edu |

Jacinda Ojeda Associate Director Region: MA (Western Suburbs) 01700-01799, ME, NJ, VT International: Europe & Canada “I love roaming around the city on a nice day. My favorite route is to wander through the Boston Common & Public Gardens and then march up to Faneuil Hall to people watch and enjoy the historical sites. My strolls through the city somehow always wind up in Boston’s North End around dinner time, where you can choose from hundreds of delicious Italian restaurants for a bite to eat!” Jacinda_Ojeda@emerson.edu |
