Biography
I am a higher education administrator with over 15 years of experience at Brown University, where I have worked across the Departments of Chemistry, Visual Art, and the Brown Arts Institute. My work sits at the intersection of academic administration, student support, and public-facing programming, with a strong emphasis on event production and cross-campus collaboration.
In my current role, I focus on developing and managing curricular and co-curricular initiatives that support students while also producing dynamic events that engage both the university and broader community. I bring a detail-oriented and strategic approach to operations, with experience overseeing complex programs, coordinating stakeholders, and ensuring that ideas move from concept to execution smoothly and effectively.
Outside of work, I’m someone who values creativity, community, and balance. I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new places, and engaging with arts and cultural experiences—interests that often inform and inspire my professional work.
