During the time I have been at BU Student Health, I have found joy in being a part of the college experience for students. I feel honored that students feel comfortable to sit with me, talk about their experiences, and plan steps forward. I have also had the pleasure to be a support to graduate student interns who have been in our program, which has provided me with additional perspective to life at BU. I most enjoy this work as I remember how important these years can be in shaping a person\u2019s future and being a part of this journey is very special. If I had the opportunity to speak to my college self, I would remind her to enjoy every moment as best you can and that you are always in the driver\u2019s seat of your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal Hobbies<\/strong><br \/>\n<span>Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and dog Leo.
