Webmaster
Senior-Biology, pre-health sciences
I grew up in Woodstock, NY and some of my hobbies include hiking, playing the violin, and getting involved in way too many philanthropic activities. I’ve been an eboard member of SPW for four years, starting as Secretary, VP, President, and this year stepping down as webmaster to leave time for other activities at CLarkson. I’ve enjoyed working with the women of our membership and am dedicated to helping them prepare for professional experiences here at Clarkson, as well as advising them through their undergraduate career and into the workplace. I look forward to future programming and to providing leadership experience to the membership of the Society of Professional Women.
