Education
I earned my B.S. from Saint Joseph’s College of Maine in Marketing. I went on to earn my M.S. in College Student Personnel Services from Arkansas State University.

Background
I’ve worked at several colleges in Maine in various student affairs functional areas including community standards, residence life, first-year experience, student engagement, and counseling services. Most recently, I served as the Director of Residence Life & Community Standards at Bates College.

At Bowdoin, I lead the College’s processes for addressing and resolving violations of the College’s Academic Honor Code and Social Code, which includes advising the Conduct Review Board. I also co-facilitate the Program for Nonviolence and Conflict Resolution (PNVCR). Additionally, I provide non-clinical one-on-one student support, including interventions, advocacy, referrals and follow-up services for students who are experiencing significant difficulties. Outside of work, you can find me at the lake, in a hockey rink, or at home spending time with my wife and our two mischievous cats, Bonnie & Clyde.
