About

Greetings! I’m a bilingual professional, fluent in Spanish, pivoting to a new career adventure. I’m a life-long learner who is always improving my skills or setting a new goal.

An experienced professional, I have served in administrative roles utilizing data-informed decision making. I am attentive to detail, organized, and can streamline internal processes.

I have earned numerous degrees and certificates. Beginning with a B.A. from Siena University (formerly Siena College), I went on to earn 5 master’s degrees in 5 different subjects as well as several certificates. I also am fluent in Spanish, having traveled extensively in Mexico and South America. I participated in two language immersion programs that allowed me to improve my speaking and writing skills as well as to gain a better understanding of the culture and people.

A natural problem-solver, I found satisfaction and purpose in improving the lives of others. I served as a full-time church pastor for 5 years. Shepherding a congregation is both a humbling and an amazing experience. I was ordained a Catholic priest in 2014 and in 2024 requested a dispensation from the clerical state. The dispensation/permission to leave was granted in July of 2025. I am grateful for the opportunity and developed many important skills in that role.

I am a strong leader who can add value to any organization. I value community, communication, collaboration, and meaningful projects. I have the experience and skill set necessary to prioritize tasks and find efficiencies.

In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, whether it’s bicycling, running, skiing, or working in the garden. I place great value on being able to grow my own vegetables! I also developed skills in home refinishing and woodworking. I have built several pieces of furniture. I can refinish a home, everything from cabinets to floors, and have completed two home renovations so far!

I currently live in Schenectady, NY. I was born and lived most of my life in Pittsfield, MA.

I look forward to the next chapter.
