For the past seven years I have been working in the fields of education and training. Throughout this time there are six semesters working with the University at Albany’s Campus Center Management,  four summers with New London County 4-H Club Camp, and three separate student teaching roles. Most recently I have spent the past four years working my way up with Best Buy into a Specialty Sales Manager role.

SUNY Albany (B.A. & M.S.)

B.A. – Mathematics

M.S. – Secondary Education: Mathematics

My student teaching experience at Bethlehem Central High School left me with so many amazing memories as well as the real life work experience that is the cornerstone of any graduate program.

Teachers in Context – We studied and discussed issues surrounding education and teachers in America in context to the past, present, and future.

Photography and Hiking. My happy place is with a camera in my hands and a hiking trail under my feet.

While I may not be much of a reader, I am currently reading Love & Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality by Edward Frenkel.

Anywhere there are mountains or vistas to be photographed.

With Saint Rose I am able to work in a field in which I am passionate about and help others find their way into education as well.
