About Me

As the Vice President for Student Engagement and Transformation as well as Dean of Students, I serve as the Chief Student Advocate. I provide leadership to the following areas: Athletics & Pride Recreation, Office of Student Engagement, Student & Campus Services, Student Living, and Wellbeing & Belonging.

My team and I are responsible for supporting a positive student experience at Widener University and much of the learning that happens outside of the classroom. Student Engagement and Transformation also ensures students know their rights and responsibilities as members of the Widener Community. We partner with students, faculty and staff to support a student-centered educational experience.

My team and I are resources for students and families during their time at Widener. Our priority is student success and helping students thrive. Feel free to reach out to me or others with questions or ways we can help.

My advice to students is to step outside of your comfort zone, take full advance of opportunities at Widener, and ask for help when necessary.  You belong here!
