As the Leverett House Administrator, I manage student housing concerns, house events, room bookings, and house finances. I work very closely with the Leverett Faculty Deans, the Resident and Non-Resident Tutors, the HoCo Chairs, and the Dining Team to coordinate all activities and events Leverett House-related.

I am one of the founding members of Harvard Next Gen. Next Gen is a multiplatform initiative that aims to positively enhance the experience of all students who are the first in their families to peruse an undergraduate or graduate degree in the US, including undocumented and low-income students. In 2020 we were awarded the Culture Lab Innovation Fund. As the administrative lead, I manage the website, communication, and plan events. I am also a Senior Community Advisor for Harvard Graduate Commons Program. GCP provides a “home away from home” for Harvard graduate students, faculty, post-docs, staff, and their families living in Harvard University Housing properties. I am passionate about organizing community-enhancing events and help residents get to know the people, places, and resources available at Harvard and the greater Boston area.

In my spare time, I take care of my large plant collection and constantly propagate new plants. In addition, I make every effort to visit my hometown (San Diego). I enjoy going to new restaurants and cooking. Nothing beats homemade tortillas. Students should contact me with any housing concerns, house event planning, room bookings, or simply to say hello!
