 I am the Resident Dean of First-Year Students in [Ivy Yard](/ivy-yard), which consists of Apley, Hollis, Holworthy, Lionel, Massachusetts, Mower, Stoughton, and Straus halls. I oversee the academic and residential needs of all students in Ivy.

 I began as a doctoral student at Harvard in 2008 and have held various administration positions since then. I began as Resident Dean in 2018. For fun, I enjoy walking my dog and sleeping.
