Area of Responsibility
As an academic advisor, I feel extremely lucky to have the opportunity to work with such a diverse and talented group of students on a daily basis. I’m truly blessed! Having worked at Laurier since 2012 in multiple roles, I’ve determined that a common, fundamental thread that has existed in each position that I’ve held is my ability to build strong, trustworthy relationships with the students that I work with in an effort to empower them to reach their personal goals.

I look forward to working with you, so please don’t hesitate to reach out!
