Where I'm From

I was born and raised in the Boston, MA area through middle school, so my Boston sports roots run deep. I spent a few years at a small private school for my middle school years before moving to Wilmette, IL where the local public high school I attended was over 4,000 students. Quite a contrast! After college I worked in the Admission Office at Gettysburg for 11 years before moving to William & Mary. At Gettysburg I was very involved in an IT system implementation and when I got to William & Mary I did the same thing and then actually moved to the IT Office after 4 years in Admissions.  So 13 years later it was time to go back to Undergraduate Admission and here I am!
