Education
I am a URI alum. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism, and a Masters of Public Administration.
Career Journey
As a URI student, I changed my major four times, ending with the same major I started with. I have worked in a variety of fields. The experiences that I often talk the most about have been my work in recruitment, emergency management, environmental education, refugee resettlement, and entrepreneurship. I have worked in government, business, and nonprofit organizations.
When not supporting career and experiential education at URI, you will find me: hiking, writing, cooking, yoga(ing?) – who knows? I like to try new hobbies and create my own projects. Recently I began playing guitar and started taking martial arts classes. I believe time is our most valuable resource and I enjoy spending mine with my family and animals (two cats and a dog).
What Strength, Value, or Personality trait do you identify with most and why? We all have many different strengths and talents. I really enjoy connecting with others and using my creativity and “activator” to get you started on the career goals that are meaningful to you.
