What was the path to your current role?
I started working for Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education right out of my undergraduate degree program, before transitioning to Postgraduate Medical Education at HMS. Between 2019 and 2022, I worked full-time with postgraduate medical education certificate students while also working toward my Master of Education in Higher Education Administration. Most recently, I joined the Center for Bioethics as an education program administrator working with graduate students and fellows.

What activities or experiences, outside of your job, inform who you are in your role at HMS?
Outside of work, you can typically find me traveling to new countries, hiking in the White Mountains with friends, and taking pottery classes through the Office for the Arts at Harvard.

What movie, television show, play/musical would you recommend to others?
Some recent TV recommendations: Succession, The White Lotus, Parks and Recreation, and Insecure. They’re all so good, there’s no way I could pick a favorite.
