What are you passionate about in your role?

I thrive on shaping financial strategy to achieve our long-term organizational goals, and coaching team members through mentorship that fosters growth and learning. I also maintain a continuous goal of creating process efficiency and automation.

What are some of your hobbies and interests?

I enjoy hiking through all the varied seasons that New England offers. I’m also a Master Scuba Diver, my most recent dive trips were to the US Virgin Islands and Grand Cayman, though my list of future destinations continues to grow.

Are you involved with any community causes or organizations?

During my undergraduate years, I had the privilege of serving on the UMass Board of Trustees as an elected student trustee. I served as Treasurer and subsequently President on the Board of Directors for Lowell TeleMedia, a cable access center serving a diverse community where local content was shared internationally. Currently, I volunteer with PALS SkyHope providing medical and compassion flights for patients and veterans.

Can you tell us a fun fact about yourself?

I enjoy flying as an instrument rated pilot – my favorite New England destinations are Nantucket and Bar Harbor.
