As director of entrepreneurship and innovation, I am responsible for developing and executing strategy for co-curricular programming focused on entrepreneurship and innovation, within the framework of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳’s Middle Campus Initiative for Arts, Creativity, and Innovation.
My background spans both the startup world and higher education. Prior to my current position, I was part of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳’s Office of Advancement, developing and executing programming to connect alumni and the university. My areas of focus included ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳'s leadership giving society, the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Professional Networks, and faculty events. Before entering higher education, I worked in marketing in Silicon Valley for B2B tech startups Capriza and Druva and the nonprofit Anita Borg Institute. I began my career in nonprofit marketing in Ireland after graduating from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in history and French.
