I am a new professional in Student Affairs, beginning my new position as a Residence Hall Director at the University of Connecticut. I recently completed my M.Ed in Student Development in Higher Education at the University of Maine. I am interested in orientation and new student programs, residential education, first year student development, and diversity and social justice on college campuses, specifically related to social justice ally development, access to higher education, and transition and retention of traditionally underrepresented students.
I am also an active member of the National Association for Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA). I enjoy sharing my love of the profession with aspiring undergraduates, increasing awareness of professional opportunities, and sharing knowledge with my peers.
I am a native Rhode Islander and adopted Mainer with a love for cooking, college hockey, and the outdoors. I am a proud Gamma Sigma Sigma alumna and a Black Bear at heart. I love meeting people, learning their stories, and making connections. I believe that every new acquaintance is a potentially meaningful relationship and my philosophy in life is to ask every day if I have helped someone.
