About Me
I am a native of Canton, Ohio, and am happy to call northeast Ohio “home.” I hold a BS in Biomedical Engineering and an MBA from The University of Akron, in addition to an M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration from ɫ. My interests have always been diverse, and I have previously held positions in outside sales, management, and hospitality/event planning, but my calling is international higher education. The opportunities I had to study and travel abroad throughout my formal education were tremendously impactful and continue to resonate with me as I advise students.
What I Love About ɫ
I love the energy and excitement each new academic year brings! ɫ offers the entire campus community an abundance of resources and opportunities for personal, professional, and academic growth in addition to overall well-being. I appreciate the many ways in which ɫ has a global identity in Kent and around the world.
Fun Facts
I studied abroad right out of high school (France), twice during undergrad (Italy/Greece and India/Nepal), and once with each of my graduate programs (South Korea and Italy). I have been both bungee jumping and skydiving (which are considered high risk activities and are not covered by our university-sponsored medical insurance plan) and have seen the summit of Mount Everest (from an airplane)!
