What do you do at SAS? 

I meet with students to provide accommodations and serve on committees.

 

How long have you worked at UMaine and at SAS?

I’ve worked in SAS since October of 2024.

 

What is your favorite thing about working at UMaine? 

Prior to joining the SAS team, I was employed as a special education teacher. My previous role was highly focused on the needs of students, which I greatly appreciate in my current position. I have the opportunity to engage with students and assist them in addressing their individual needs.

 

What do you like to do for fun? 

I have three daughters, and I really love spending time with them. Cooking and listening to music are some of my favorite things to do. I also enjoy going to the beach and hiking. Camping trips are one of my favorite hobbies, offering a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature. I also enjoy going on bike rides, and when I’m not camping or biking, you can often find me at the beach, soaking up the sun reading.
