I am the former Director of Financial Aid at the University of Maine at Augusta. Prior to that, I served as the Director of Financial Aid at Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology in downtown Boston. I am a native Mainer and returned home with my family to raise my son. I hold a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration from New England College, as well as both a bachelor’s and an associate degree from the former Mount Ida College in Newton, MA. I discovered my passion for higher education while working as an undergraduate admissions tour guide. I enjoy supporting students and families throughout the educational process and have seen firsthand how transformative a college degree can be.
I enjoy traveling, I have been lucky to travel around the state of Maine and many parts of the US. I have traveled to Germany, Trinidad and Tobago. For those who really know me, my favorite place to vacation is Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL with my spouse and son.
