Serving as the Director of Alumni Relations for Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I seek to provide opportunities that encourage meaningful connections and collaborations.I offer a broad background of experience in Student Affairs, Alumni Relations, Volunteer Management and Strategic Initiatives. Before entering the field of Higher Ed, I earned a BS from Saint Francis (Loretto, PA) in my self-designed major - a blend of marine biology, environmental science, and education course work. I later earned a Master of Educational with a focus on Leadership there as well.

I try to be well-rounded, and thus intentionally strive for a social life. (Some days I am better at this than others.) When I fair well, you can find me someplace outdoors; on snowy slopes, along a wooded trail, strapping on my XC skis, laying in the water, or huffing and puffing after a run. I love my Pittsburgh Steelers, and am a certified Spinning and Schwinn Cycling Instructor.

"I arise in the morn torn between a desire to improve the world & a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
