In 100 words or less, my role at Siena Heights is… to be a resource to students! I look over CV and St. Catherine Hall to make sure we are building safe and inclusive environments so all students can succeed! Students can come talk to me about concerns they have, or if they just need a listening ear.
One thing people at Siena would be surprised to know about me is… I played rugby in undergrad, moved to Ireland after my undergrad, and can walk on stilts!
