For nearly two decades, I provided broad-based personal and academic support to Harvard undergraduate and graduate students as a psychologist/counselor at the former Bureau of Study Counsel. I also founded and ran AAPEX (Athletic, Academic, & Personal Excellence), Harvard's former in-house sport psychology program for varsity athletes. In those capacities, I enjoyed working with a wide range of students at the College, including first-gen students, LGBTQ+ students, student-athletes, and students involved in complex Title IX cases, accompanying them on their journeys of self-discovery as they navigated Harvard and figured out how to use this place to help them become their best, most authentic selves. I've also been an academic advisor since 2001. 

In my current role as Program Manager for Military Student Services, I have the honor of working with Harvard College students who are military veterans (from all countries), ROTC participants (cadets and midshipmen), and have other military affiliations. If you are in any of those categories or are involved with those students, please feel free to contact me with whatever's on your mind. I'm here to help! If you're a high school student, please note that the scope of my role is limited to currently enrolled and admitted Harvard College students, so you should contact the Harvard College Admissions Office and ROTC at MIT rather than me (MIT is the host school for Harvard ROTC students). 

Prior to working at Harvard, I earned my SB and SM (MBA plus thesis) degrees in business at MIT. As an undergraduate there, I enlisted in the US Army Reserve and also joined Army ROTC at MIT, where I was subsequently commissioned. After graduation, I worked for years as a field instructor and course director at various wilderness-based experiential education programs such as Outward Bound. I then returned to school to study at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (EdM in Adolescent Risk & Prevention) and at the George Washington University (PsyD in clinical psychology and JD in law). I'm certified in performance and sport psychology (CMPC-AASP) and am on the USOPC Mental Health and Performance Registry. 

I love exploring the Greater Boston area via slow, non-competitive, recreational running with campus-based programs such as Harvard on the Move (HOTM) and the Harvard College Marathon Challenge (HCMC), so feel free to ask me about those, too!
