What makes you most excited about joining Weatherhead?
The amazing team I work with in external relations as well as having the opportunity to meet and get to know our alumni, students, faculty and staff!
What do you love most about Cleveland?
I am a lifelong Clevelander and I love many things about this city! One thing that I have always found to be interesting is the many ethnicities that are represented in the city. I like to explore different neighborhoods and find new restaurants and local businesses.
Share something about you!
I grew up in the West Park neighborhood, which is traditionally a very Irish part of town, and I am part of an Irish dancing group that meets on Sundays at P.J. McIntyre's Irish Pub to dance and socialize. It's a great workout and a lot of fun!
