Born and raised in New England, I really enjoy the outdoors and the change of seasons. My mother and father are both first generation born in the United States from Poland and Italy respectively. Coming from a large extended family, I enjoy the roles of daughter, sister and auntie! I am engaged to be married. Professionally, I spent 22 years coaching women’s volleyball, 17 of which I was the head coach at Dartmouth College. I returned to Bentley (my alma mater) after I retired from coaching to do international recruiting for the MBA program for 7.5 years. I have been to over 60 countries and absolutely love traveling. Currently, I head the admissions team at SPH and have learned a lot about public health throughout the pandemic. For the past 12 years, I have co-owned a small family bakery with my little sister. My hobbies include cooking, photography, traveling, craft beer and learning about beekeeping. Happy to connect with anyone about any of these topics.
