Title
Assistant Director, Academic Advising
Department : Academic Advising
Office location: Unity Hall - 5th Floor - Office 542H

Pronouns: she/her. As Assistant Director of Academic Advising, I am responsible for assisting in office operations, technology and professional development for the Office of Academic Advising. In addition, I provide academic advising support to a caseload of students, helping them make decisions about their academic and personal path. I participate on several committees supporting students including the LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Board as well as developing engaging campus programming for all students. I also create content and oversee our Academic Advising social media platforms on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook (@WPIAcademicAdvising).

As a first-generation college student, I can relate to the anxiety and unknown that surrounds the transition to college. I can confidently affirm the importance of utilizing support and the many resources that are available. I aim to create an inclusive and safe environment as an advisor and as a mentor. My overarching goal is to help students turn their dreams into reality. Outside of WPI, I enjoy cooking, quoting movies, going to concerts, and spending time with friends.
