About

I am a financial reporting specialist who provides accounting and data support. I am enthusiastically supportive of our goals to promote biocultural diversity and inspire others to embrace it, and I feel fortunate to work with excellent co-workers in such a sublimely beautiful area that provides deep and often profound value to so many at Cornell and beyond.

I draw upon many years of diverse business experience, including managing a travel industry program in Virginia prior to Cornell, and being the administrative cog at a Cornell Cooperative Extension publisher (NRAES/PALS Publishing), which supported small farmers and consumers with conferences and publications.

I hold a bachelor’s in business from Virginia Tech, have had extensive financial training at Cornell, and completed the Research Administration Certification Program.
