Hello! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from SUNY New Paltz and a Master’s degree in Human Resources from Georgetown University. After several years in HR, I transitioned to a community-facing role where I focus on building relationships with community leaders and navigating complex issues and customer concerns. I have recently rejoined the field of I/O Psychology with BayState I/O, where I am eager to learn and connect with all of you.  In my spare time I love to read and drink a good cup of tea!
