Baltimore is home for me. I was born just down the street and have spent most of my life in or around the city. It's been exciting to watch the midtown Baltimore area grow over the years into the exciting, vibrate area it is today, with so many UB students living in the area. The best part of UB? It's definitely the students!Top 5 Strengths: Developer | Relator | Learner | Responsibility | Belief

I provide administrative/operational, budget, programmatic and project management support to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. I also provide support to divisional assessment activities and assist with the coordination of special projects.

Many people are familiar with the quote by spiritual author Marianne Williamson: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." I love helping students at UB illuminate the passion, the power and the purpose that lives within them. Are you waiting for someone to give you permission to shine? The wait is over! Let your light shine brighter and encourage others to do the same.Top 5 Strengths: Strategic | Positivity | Relator | Maximizer | Futuristic
