My primary job in the Educational Leadership Department is to provide excellent customer service for our students.  If you need assistance with admissions, class schedules, course registration or the graduation certification process, or have any other questions, call or email me.  My office hours are 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

Several years ago, I returned to USM to complete my B.A. in English as a nontraditional student.  After working in an elementary school and then in the health insurance industry, I welcomed the opportunity to return to USM in 2004 to work in the office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences on the  Portland campus.  Then in fall of 2011, I was very pleased to accept the position of Administrative Assistant II in the Educational Leadership Department on the Gorham campus.  Having several family members and many friends who are teachers, working with educators feels like a very natural transition. I especially enjoy meeting and assisting graduate students becoming leaders in area schools.
