I was born in New York City, grew up on Long Island, and returned to New York following graduation from Notre Dame.  My work experience includes selling natural foods, running shoes and ski boots, helping to found a community radio station, and 20 years of admissions work for several universities, including Yale and Notre Dame.  Advising first-year students is my favorite mixture of challenges and rewards!
