South Hall and East Campus 

Hometown: Manhattan, New York

Degree(s): B.A. in Communication from the State University of New York at Fredonia; M.Ed. in Higher Education and Student Affairs Administration from the State University of New York College at Buffalo

Favorite location/ spot on campus: One of my most beloved places on campus is the Arts & Crafts Studio, located on the lower level of the Worner Campus Center. This studio provides a phenomenal opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to express their creativity and connect with others they may not know.

Why/what do you love about your community: The community of South Hall shares many similarities with my hometown, New York City. It is a melting pot of students from all over the globe, with a wide range of interests. Although there may be times when the high levels of student involvement can make the community chaotic, it is a place where I, and others, can thrive.

Favorite location/spot on campus: The garden right between Bemis and Ticknor, especially in the spring when all of the flowers are blooming!

I really enjoy working with a mix of freshmen and upperclassmen! The Mathias, Arthur, and Breton area has a variety of LLCs as well, which bring a unique group of students to our area.
