Assistant Director of Financial AidHarvard GSAS
I earned my Ed.M. from HGSE in 2022 and currently work at GSAS, where I’ve spent the past decade building a career across higher education, teaching, mentoring, and student support.
Outside of work, I love cycling, hiking, swimming, and traveling. I also lived in Madrid, Spain for several years, and have a lasting love for the Spanish language and culture. I’m looking forward to staying connected with the Harvard community and seeing where everyone’s paths have taken them!
