Hometown:
Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania

Education:
I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from the University of Texas at Austin.

Background:
I’ve spent my career working in higher education, community engagement, events, and outreach. Since joining Bowdoin College in 2013, I’ve served as an Academic Coordinator in the Department of History and Academic Affairs, supporting academic advising, the first-year and transfer student experiences, and a variety of campus programs and initiatives.

Before Bowdoin, I worked in community outreach and development in Brunswick and managed national and international events in Washington, D.C. Earlier in my career, I served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in the Republic of Congo and as an AmeriCorps Volunteer in Austin, TX.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my three children, my husband, Jonathan, and our dog, Gus. I love to travel, cook and watch soccer, and I’m always happiest when I’m surrounded by family, friends, and good food.
