Biography

I am an alum of the University of Rhode Island, graduating with my Master’s in Higher Education/ College Student Personnel in May 2025 and Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Communication Studies in May 2023. I work as an academic advisor for students in University College for Academic Success (UCAS) who are part of the College of the Environment and Life Sciences (CELS). Prior to my current role, I worked as an advisor for two years with upper-level students in CELS and am excited for the opportunity to work more closely with the newest members of the URI community. As an advisor, my goal is to support students by providing reliability, transparency, a safe environment and an open doorway. 

Outside of work, you can usually find me on the beach (even in the winter), out with friends, or trying a new coffee shop. 

I am so excited to meet you and be a part of your success team here at URI!
