Get to know me!
I am from a rural area of Massachusetts within the mountains warmly referred to as "The Berkshires". The mountain region offered me a profound relationship with nature and hiking early on that guides my theological principles in the natural elements of the world.
I am a first-generation college student who graduated from Suffolk University in Boston with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration.
I have a background in academic advising and student services within the community college system. Working within the Student Affairs Division, I have gained perspectives beyond the comprehensive approach to academic advising. I am committed to advancing well-being, enhancing campus resilience, and promoting a safe, supportive learning environment for all students, faculty, and staff.
I am a recent graduate from North Carolina State University in the College of Education’s Higher Education Administration program (M.Ed).
I am seeking positions that focus on promoting well-being on campus and fostering a diverse, inclusive community where every individual feels a strong sense of belonging. I am passionate about creating supportive environments that prioritize mental and physical health, celebrate cultural differences, and ensure equitable opportunities for all students, faculty, and staff. My goal is to contribute to initiatives that enhance overall campus life, encouraging a thriving, vibrant community.
Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, reading, and artistic projects.
