About Me

Hometown: Bellefonte, Pennsylvania
Alma Mater: Penn State, Temple University
Penn Stater since: 1991

I love exploring students’ goals and future plans with them. And I even enjoy evaluating transfer credits and updating review audits — it’s like working on a puzzle!

The latest addition to our family is my six-year-old Pug, Stanley, whom we recently adopted from a rescue organization.

I turn into a kid again on Halloween — I enjoy dressing up, whether in a costume of my own creation or as part of a theme.

In my trick-or-treat bag, you'll find chocolate—I love just about anything from Hershey’s!

My childhood ambition was to be a marine biologist. I wanted to work with animals and sea life, but I have spent most of my life helping humans, which is equally rewarding.

Words of wisdom: I love George Carlin’s philosophy: “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid sideways, totally worn out, shouting, ‘Holy cow, what a ride!’ Enjoy the ride — there’s no return ticket.”

Office Hours: 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (Eastern Time)
