Position:

In my role as Director of the Women's Center, utilizing a social justice framework, I lead the development and delivery of programming, services and advocacy around issues that impact women. I live in Kent and have been a member of the С»ÆƬÊÓƵ Community for over 15 years. Given my experiences and the relationships I have built in my tenure at С»ÆƬÊÓƵ, I see the core of my work as building community through collaboration, outreach and action.

Experience:

My background includes working and volunteering at shelters for domestic violence and sexual assault as well as a group home for adolescent girls in both Pennsylvania and Ohio. My professional experience in higher education includes admissions, academic advising and serving as a police dispatcher in addition to my role at the Women's Center.

Favorite place on the Kent campus:

I have spent 20 years on this campus and in this community and I'd have to say it's not one specific place. My favorite places on campus are where I can spend time with my friends and colleagues. For me it's more about the people than the location.
