About Me

​I'm a deep-thinking, creative person through and through. My favorite activities involve being outside, capturing moments, spending time with my husband and dog as well as coaching field hockey. I'm drawn to strategically solving challenges big and small yet doing so with flair. I enjoy zooming out to see the full picture of what's in front of me, but I know the little details make all the difference. As a Widener alumna, I'm delighted to be back on campus in a serendipitous moment.

I was a first-generation, commuting, transfer college student. My undergraduate experience became more rewarding each time I signed up for the intentional activities that weren't required of me. For example, joining The Seekers program fostered key discussion of professional obstacles and victories. Although my career path was not as straightforward, I was able to adapt along the way because of the core foundations of critical thinking, effective communicating, and dedication I harnessed here as a student. I look forward to elevating awareness and accessibility to career platforms for students and faculty alike with the Career Design & Development team.
