Biography

While new to this position, I have been with Drexel University for 16 years. I have worked as a Senior Academic Advisor within the College of Engineering where I advised undergraduates within CAEE and undeclared students and have also worked as a senior academic advisor within the Goodwin College of Professional Studies, where I advised non-traditional and adult learners. I also work as an adjunct with the First Year Experience Program within Goodwin College and the Lindy Center.

I am passionate about education and enjoy helping students! My background in career and academic advising has allowed me to shape a very holistic approach to the field of advising. I have a special interest in student engagement and the retention of first generation and cultural minorities within STEM.

Allow I currently reside in South Jersey, I am a native Philadelphian and an avid football fan! I have earned my bachelor’s from Saint Joseph’s University and a Master’s in Higher Education Administration from Drexel University.
