Hi! My name is Tien Misler, and I am responsible for transfer students and recruitment locally and across New England. I am originally from Maine, but I have lived all over, from the Midwest, to California, and back! I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Arts from Rockford University in 2019. I joined the Husson Admissions team in February 2023. I wanted to work with transfer students because I know it can be a challenging decision to make; changing schools or career paths. I went through something similar. Hopefully, I can help make that transition a little easier for you! Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, skiing, camping, rock climbing, reading, and trying new restaurants!
