Bio/Description

Hello Butlerites, 

It is a pleasure to join the Butler College team here at Princeton University. For some background on my journey, I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey. With perseverance and determination I attended Rutgers University for both my undergraduate and graduate studies, earning a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice in 2022 and a Master's degree in Social Work in May 2024.

My journey in higher education has been a continuous progression. During my time at Rutgers University, I initially served as a Resident Assistant during my undergraduate years and then as a Graduate Assistant while pursuing my MSW. These experiences have fueled my passion for higher education, particularly in advising, advocating for, and supporting students. Witnessing the impact of a supportive community on students’ academic, career, and personal journeys, especially as I watched my first group of residents graduate this year, has reinforced my commitment and passion for student wellbeing and success.

I will endeavor to be a valuable resource to the Butler community. I look forward to supporting, growing, and learning alongside all of you.
