I was born and raised in northern New Jersey and moved to Massachusetts following my graduation from college. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Marist College, completing minors in English and Global Studies. After college, I completed a year of service in AmeriCorps College Advising Corps at Boston University, where I was able to advocate for equitable and tangible paths to college for Boston Public Schools students. Now, I look forward to helping students discover their academic goals and passions at Lasell.

What's your favorite thing about Lasell?
I love how tightly connected the Lasell community is – everyone who's here truly wants to be here, and they go out of their way to extend that warm welcome to others on campus.

What are some of your hobbies?
I am a huge music fan. I danced throughout college and can play three instruments, so it's always been a significant part of my life. Every artist from Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves to Fleetwood Mac and Electric Light Orchestra, I own their CDs.

What do you think is the most important thing for students to keep in mind during their college search?
It's important that students look for a school where they can picture themselves not only taking classes, but also living day-to-day life. Remember to search for a school that piques your own interest, academically and socially, where you can see yourself hanging out with friends and joining some campus clubs.
