I graduated from Southern Connecticut State University with bachelor’s degrees in both Elementary Education and Spanish. I also have a master’s degree in Educational Technology from the University of Saint Joseph. Before working at UB, I was a third grade teacher for 10 years. I consider myself a life-long learner and am passionate about helping others achieve their educational and professional goals. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and friends, live music, and watching hockey (go Rangers!).

Favorite color: Mint green and gold
Favorite movie: All of the Harry Potter movies. I’m also a big fan of the TV shows Gilmore Girls and Ted Lasso.
Favorite book: Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
Favorite food: Nachos or pasta
Best part about my job: Assisting students in furthering their education and reaching their goals.
Something you don’t know about me: I was a competitive Irish dancer as a child.
Three words to describe me: Reliable, patient, funny
