Biography

Having spent my life between Rhode Island and Minnesota, I wholeheartedly believe in the power of culture and personal experience. I’ve had the opportunity to be a member of the University of Rhode Island, in various capacities, since 2004. I began my adventure here at the University as a Talent Development Program Adoptee where I was exposed to a community of teachers, learners, mentors, friends and colleagues. The community supported me through both my undergraduate and graduate journeys. As a practitioner, I will challenge our Scholars to explore further and go farther. It is a tremendous honor for me to contribute to the rich legacy of the Talent Development Program.
