As the Interim Director of the Harvard College Women’s Center (HCWC), I provide direction and support to all members of the campus community who seek to foster collective engagement, cooperative learning, sensitivity, and personal growth regarding matters of gender and intersectional feminism. In my role, I serve as a liaison to students, residential and office staff, alumni, and other campus partners, offering guidance, education, training, and event programming that enhances awareness of gender-related issues and effectively addresses the dynamic needs of the College’s community.

I have been at Harvard since 2009 and held a variety of academic, administrative, and service positions. I have taught in the Academic Success Program, an FGLI (first-generation, low-income) pre-matriculation program at Columbia; at Harvard, I have taught a First-Year Seminar on friendship, an Engaged Scholarship course on altruism, and a study abroad course on the literature and philosophy of political difference in Croatia and Bosnia. I have a Ph.D. in philosophy and a Professional Certificate in Restorative Justice and Leadership from the University of San Diego. In 2021-2022, I was co-lead on a Harvard Culture Lab Innovation Fund Grant to promote restorative justice practices across campus. I also serve on the Public Service Committee at Harvard, as a Peace Commissioner for the City of Cambridge, and as a volunteer for Communities for Restorative Justice.

As an adult I have embraced a range of hobbies, attempting to learn contact juggling, ice skating, and the piano (emphasis on “attempting”). I find the amusement these activities bring me is worth more than my occasional lack of finesse!

Please reach out to me about anything related to gender, women, femmes, equity, identity, intersectional feminism, reproductive justice, friendship, restorative justice, and more! I would also appreciate hearing your big ideas and suggestions for shaping a meaningful and impactful future for the HCWC.
