Where are you from?
I was born and raised on Long Island, New York. After graduating, I found myself spending more and more time in the Bronx and now reside in Pelham Parkway.

How long have you been at Mount Saint Vincent?
I began working at Mount Saint Vincent at the beginning of the Fall 2021 semester. I was a communication student at UMSV from 2014 to 2018.

What were your favorite activities as a Mount student?
My favorite activities as a student were working with Mount Media in the TV Studio and grabbing food with friends in Mag’s or the caf before class.

What is your favorite Mount memory?
My favorite memory at the Mount is when I was selected to present a paper I had written on the English Reformation at the Humanities Symposium and again at a regional conference.

What is your favorite vacation destination? 
My favorite vacation destination is the Philippines. I spent two weeks traveling the country from Manila to Boracay and can’t wait to go back!

Why did you decide to join the Admission team?
After working in the television post-production industry for a few years, I chose to change career paths. I decided to join the admission team at the Mount because I see it as an opportunity to give back to the school and community that helped shape me into the person I am today.

What is your advice for succeeding in college?
Network as much as possible. It does not matter what year you are, it is never too early or too late to make new connections on and off campus.

How do you spend your free time?
My free time is spent between playing bass guitar, writing, reading, and playing video games. 

What is your favorite quote?
“None of us are the same as we were a moment ago, and we shouldn’t try to be.”- Spike Jonze
