Associate Dean of Housing

617-496-2774

As the Associate Dean, I collaborate with College leaders and University partners such as Campus Services, Physical Resources and Planning, HUIT, Dining Services, Development, and others, to create a vision for the future of the College residential system and to develop a strategy to achieve that vision.

I have spent my entire career within Higher Education, and more specifically, Student Affairs. I strive to be a supportive and a strategic partner in making the collegiate setting inclusive and accessible. Prior to my time at Harvard University, I served many institutions, some only professionally and others while completing my degrees. They include Dartmouth College, The University of Iowa (PhD), The University of Georgia, Western Carolina University (MEd), and Old Dominion University (BA).

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family preferably near or on bodies of water, working on craft projects, baking, and learning to play the guitar.
