My previous professional experience has all been in the Human Resources field. I worked for 21 years in various Human Resources Business Partners, Project Management, HR Operations, and HR Information Systems roles in the Pharmaceutical Industry.  I then spent ten years as a stay-at-home mom for our two daughters before returning to the workforce as an HR Consultant and an HR Manager for a Non-Profit.

In July of 2022, I officially retired and intended to focus my time on helping my now junior and senior daughters navigate the college admissions process. Little did I know that by engaging Admissions Village to help with the process, and taking long walks with Aly and our dogs discussing our lives and jobs, would lead me back to the working world.  Maybe Aly picked up on the fact that I am a bit of a data and computer geek.  I love mapping out processes to identify areas for improvement and systemization. I find it thrilling to analyze data looking for the “aha” story that all of the information provides.  My goal in joining Admissions Village as a part-time Administrative Coordinator is to simplify the administrative processes so that Aly, Kavita, and Meg can spend less time on these functions and more time doing what they love, which is helping students find, and get accepted to, their dream school.

Educationally, I have a BA degree in Industrial Labor Relations from SUNY Potsdam and an MBA with a concentration in Human Resources Management from SUNY Buffalo. I am currently taking classes at UC, Irvine to earn my Independent Educational Consultant certification.

In my free time, you can find me reading, running/walking, or just hanging out with my husband, daughters, and our three dogs. I am also an avid professional football fan (Go Birds!), and if I had the chance to do it all over again, I’d combine my love of football with data and become a sports statistician!
