Advisor since: September 2021

Academic Advising Interests: I enjoy assisting students in all aspects of their UMass journey. When students uncover their potential it's an exciting time. 

Previous work experience: I worked for many years in college admission, some of those years at Umass.  A fun fact, I've visited 95% of all the high schools in Massachusetts.  Since 2012, I have also been involved as a mentor in a college access and success program. 

Interests, hobbies, fave activities: I enjoy being outdoors the most. I can usually be found hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, reading, thrifting, and hanging with my family, friends and my dog.  My favorite easy hike is Mt. Sugarloaf in Sunderland - it's on the bus route, I hope you try it. 

Hometown: North Adams, MA. Lived in the Amherst area for 25 years though.
