Mather House Administrator
Shannon's portrait

As the Mather House Administrator, I manage our housing lottery and room assignments, address student concerns, and oversee the financial needs of the House. I work closely with the Faculty Deans, Allston Burr Resident Dean, Resident Tutors, Academic Coordinator, and Building Manager in coordinating house events and student-initiated projects, as we together build a home for all Mather students.

I joined the Mather House team in June of 2023. Before that, I worked at Boston College in Residential Life. I completed my BSBA in Human Resource Management from John Carroll University in 2017, and then finished two degrees from Boston College: MA in Higher Education in 2017 and MBA in 2023. I am a proud first-gen student and the oldest of five! I focus on creating equitable spaces and practices so folks feel welcome and affirmed in their homes.

I love to learn new things, and have recently been learning how to sew and use hand tools. I enjoy baking, hiking, fall foliage, and spending time with my partner, Zach!

I take she/her pronouns.
