I joined the Office of Academic Advocacy in 2021, but I have been with ßÙßÇÂþ»­ since 2014 and have worked in higher education for over 15 years, including undergraduate admissions, financial aid, and most recently academic advising for the past five years.  I firmly believe that every student has the potential to achieve their educational and career goals and I thoroughly enjoy helping them do that.  I value developing relationships based in respect and trust with students.  I want to know you as a whole person so I can best assist you along your path to graduation.

I am a transplant to the Tampa area and am originally from Connecticut, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Connecticut.  I also lived in Pennsylvania while earning my Master of Education in Higher Education Administration at the University of Pennsylvania.  My family, including two teenage sons, and I have lived here since 2009 and love the warmth of both the weather and the people here.
