I serve as the Director of Orientation and Family Engagement within the Dean of Students Office (DSO). Since joining the College in July 2019, I have been charged with overseeing the design, planning, and implementation of Harvard’s undergraduate orientation program. I also supervise the coordination of Harvard’s six pre-orientation programs in partnership with the Pre-Orientation Directors.

Another focal point for me is providing opportunities for parents and family members to engage with each other and the Harvard community through the College’s First-Year and Junior Family Weekends.

I have previously held positions at Loyola University Maryland, College of the Holy Cross, and the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. I am committed to creating spaces during transitional milestones where students and their families feel welcomed, included and an overall sense of belonging within their respective institutions.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Counseling & Human Services from the University of Scranton, as well as a Master of Science in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. My higher education background is in residential life, student involvement, orientation and living-learning communities.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling the world, binge watching reality TV, and spending quality time with friends, family and my rescue dog, Charlie.
