Counselor Sherie Gilmore Cleveland

Sherie Gilmore-Cleveland

Associate Vice Provost, Enrollment Management
Born and raised in Oakland, California, I am a Bay Area girl through and through. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with my BS in 2001 and MS in 2005. I love the energy of USF. The people, the campus, and the passion for others captured my heart, and I've never let go. The conversations I've had (over a great meal in in the city), have brought me to tears through laughter while also inspiring me to serve others.

Counselor Alejandro Wences

Alejandro Wences

Assistant Director of Undergraduate Admission
I am originally from Anaheim, CA, but I've lived in the Greater Philly area and DC for six years before returning to the best state/home! I love seeing a new city, trying new types of food, and finding cozy coffee shops. My favorite parts of the city are Golden Gate Park, Pier 39, and the Palace of the Fine Arts (I tell people I'm in Greece).

Arnoldo Valdivieso-Martinez

I'm originally from Mexico but have called the Bay Area my home for most of my life. When I'm not traveling to and from Disneyland, you can catch me exploring all the different coffee shops and restaurants the city has to offer, one run or bike ride at a time. Lastly, I'm proud to say that I'm on my way to becoming a Double Don (graduating with two degrees from USF)!

Counselor Erica Delgado

Erica Delgado

Director of Transfer Admission and Campus Engagement
I'm originally from a small agricultural town in California's Central Valley and have had the pleasure to live in large cities all over the state — but none as dear to my heart as San Francisco. The city is a special place with its amazing food, diverse cultures, and beautiful views. I love to travel and I feel fortunate to come back to this eclectic city after every adventure.

Associate Director of International Admission
I have been working in U.S. higher education for over 28 years, and 24 of those years specifically in international education. I was born in Corpus Christi, Texas but my family is from Mexico City, so I grew up between the U.S. and Mexico. I’ve lived in Sweden, France, Chile and Saudi Arabia as well as Salem, Massachusetts.

Counselor Hervey Malone

Hervey Malone II

Assistant Director of Admission and Regional Representative
I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have many fond memories of San Francisco from growing up — so much that I consider San Francisco a second home. I now call SoCal my permanent home, since that's where I'm based.

Counselor Justin Nkemere

Justin Nkemere

Assistant Director of Undergraduate Admission
I am originally from Carson, California and graduated from USF with the class of 2019. Coming from a city like Los Angeles, I really enjoy the city life and the many different cultures and backgrounds you can find within it. San Francisco, and the Bay Area as a whole, is the same exact way. I truly appreciate how USF does its best to bring the SF city experience to its students.

Counselor Rebecca Williams

Rebecca Williams

Director of First Year Admission
I grew up in Mississippi and attended college here in the Bay Area. Once I arrived, I never left. My favorite thing about San Francisco is the overwhelmingly eclectic food scene. I also still love taking the ferry between San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area—it's one of the best ways to see the Bay!

Counselor Stephanie Ortiz-Garcia

Stephanie Ortiz-Garcia

Associate Director of Undergraduate Admission
I'm originally from southeast Los Angeles, moved to San Francisco to attend USF (Class of 2016!), and became a Double Don by completing my master's degree at USF. USF is special because it offered me a place where I could learn more about social justice through the Jesuit lens and integrate it within my social, academic, and professional goals. My favorite restaurant in the city with the best burritos and tacos is El Farolito on 24th and Mission, which I recommend if you are ever in town.
