About Us
Welcome to the office of Student Orientation and Family Programs! I joined the office of Student Orientation and Family Programs in spring of 2006. I’ve worked in career counseling and university student services for approximately ten years, serving
most recently as the Director of Graduate Career Services at American University in Washington D.C. I received a B.A. in Policy Studies from Syracuse University and an M.S. in Counseling and Guidance from Texas A & M at Corpus Christi. While I’ve only been at Stony Brook a short time, I was instantly impressed with the caliber of students, faculty and staff that met, and I knew right away that this was the place for me. I hope that you will soon share the same energy and enthusiasm for your SBU experience. We look forward to serving you as you begin your journey.

I have worked for New York State since 1989 and came to the University in February 1996. That is when I started here in the Academic Advising Center. I was the Staff Assistant for the Center. In June of 2001 I began working full time in the Orientation and Family Programs Office as the Office Manager. I also teach the First-Year Seminar, serve as a mentor in the Mentor Program, and am an advisor for the Golden Key International Honor Society.

Having recently joined the office of Student Orientation and Family Programs, I'm happy to become a part of the Stony Brook community. I also grew up in Ridge, NY and am excited to return to my Long Island roots. I completed my B.S. in Human Services, Education, and Public Policy at the University of Delaware and my M.Ed. in College Student Affairs at Penn State. Most recently, I come from Rutgers University where I worked with new student programs. I love working with new students and orientation leaders and look forward to seeing you at orientation!
