I serve as the academic affairs coordinator at the University of Maine School of Law (Maine Law), supporting the Vice Dean/Provost, the Academic Success Program, the Registrar, and the adjunct faculty here. I joined Maine Law in the fall of 2021 and have been in higher education, in one form or another, for most of my career.

What DEI means to me:
Equity and inclusion are central commitments at Maine Law. The Law School is dedicated to justice and, as lawyers and lawyers-in-training, many in our community are in a unique position to be advocates and change-makers in Maine and beyond. Striving toward equity and inclusion in our community is a means of ensuring those efforts better reflect who we are and those we serve.
