Born and raised in the California Bay Area, I moved to Boston in 1992. I firmly believe in the value of a liberal arts education, and designed an interdisciplinary major at Pomona College (European Studies) to combine my interests in Romance languages, history, politics, culture and theater. After exploring a range of nonprofit and education-related occupations, I completed an Ed.M. from Harvard University. I found my calling as a career advisor, and have counseled students and alumni in Boston area colleges and universities for over 15 years.
