Where did you grow up?

Mahwah, New Jersey through middle school and then transitioned down to Cape Coral, Florida for high school. I’ve moved a ton throughout my life though, currently sitting at move number 15 and ready to put down roots. 

What are your main responsibilities?

I am the Residence Hall Director over Kirk Hall, the Veggie Co-Op, and the Eco & Language Houses. A large part of my role is based in student support. My hope is for every student in the KVL area to feel a sense of home and community – however that looks for them. I have the exciting opportunity to oversee some of our Living Learning Communities, so some days are spent pickling at the Veggie Co-Op while others are spent supporting cultural events at the Language Houses! 

What do you love most about Mac?

The culture of community that is felt through interactions with staff, faculty and students alike. I love the fact that we have the ability to show up authentically and engage meaningfully. Macalester is a community of scholars unlike anything I’ve experienced before. The Kirk Courtyard is also stunning and I’ve enjoyed watching it change with the seasons. 

What is your favorite hobby?

I’m a huge fan of collecting antiques, interior design and trying out new recipes! If you need any recommendations for local restaurants, feel free to stop by my office in Kirk 115 – I keep a running list of favorite spots locals tell me about.
