Governance Committee Chair
"Being a student at the University of Hartford was truly one of the greatest times of my life. From the minute I stepped foot on campus I knew that it was the place for me. I got involved with almost every aspect of college that one can, from academic honor societies and theater productions to joining a fraternity. I loved the school so much I gave admissions tours to prospective students. That simple task of showing a new student around the University that I loved so much actually turned into my career in admissions and higher education.
I always knew that the University of Hartford would be with me wherever I went. It prepared me for a master's and a wonderful career that I would have never had if it wasn't for the University. Every time someone asks me where I went to college I proudly tell them the University of Hartford.
I have always known the importance of giving back and being involved with my alma mater. For me, however, there was a period of time after college where that was not possible for a variety of reasons. Now that I have become established enough in my career and personal life, I can't wait to give my time and energy back to a school that meant so much to me. If I can help advance the mission of the school and help connect alumni from across the country, then I will be a very happy person."
