I am originally from Pennsylvania and grew up next door to a college campus. I moved to Albany in 2020 and have loved getting to learn more about this region and explore all that it has to offer! Upon moving to Albany, I was particularly impressed by the thriving downtown, local restaurants, and the presence of so many diverse local colleges. When I'm not at work I love to bake, walk along the Erie Canal, and take day trips through New York and Massachusetts. I look forward to helping prospective students navigate the application process!

Originally from the Saratoga area, I’ve had the pleasure of attending college and working in higher education in the Capital District. Whether a student is looking for an internship, job opportunities, or leisurely activities, the Albany area has it all. I’m very excited to introduce new students to the area and help guide them through the college application process.

ACPHS has a lot to offer and I’m a firm believer in strength of our academic outcomes. Outside of my passion for higher education, you can usually find me at farmers markets, catching a live show, or grabbing a bite to eat at the best eateries the region has to offer!

I was born and raised on the Island of Jamaica. In May of 2000, my family and I migrated to Albany NY where I completed high school. After college, I spent 12 years in Residence Life in all capacities supporting students as they enter college. Having migrated to the Capital Region, I would do it all over again. The rich culture and amazing adventures in surrounding areas makes Albany a wonderful place to live and study. I look forward in sharing what the Capital Region and ACPHS has to offer you.

Albany is the perfect city to go to college and pursue a career in the health field. Our campus is located in the medical heart of Albany, ideal for students to find placements, internships and jobs upon graduation. Being in the admissions office at ACPHS is an extremely rewarding career, and I look forward to helping our students through the application process.

Outside of work I love to sew, travel, and spoil my dog, Maisy.

After being raised in Alabama and living in Texas for several years, I’ve spent the majority of my professional career working for various institutions of higher education and with students from around the country. In my role at ACPHS, I’m very excited to help those from the boroughs of New York City, Long Island and the South find their home at ACPHS. Outside of the office and on weekends, you can find me searching for the best Chinese food in the city, perusing antique stores, and hanging out with my husband Alex and our French Bulldog Charlie!

I am from Western New York, but have lived in Albany since attending college in the Capital Region. As the Coordinator of Graduate Programs, I have the opportunity to work with students from the time they express interest in ACPHS until they complete their M.S. program. The Admissions office is a frequent stop for students currently enrolled at ACPHS – as a result, we can readily assist them as they progress towards their degree.
