How did Riv prepare you for your career?  The professors at Rivier taught me how to think dynamically and critically. When you are in a position of leadership, you have to be able to do this.

What do you enjoy most about what you do? I enjoy being part of a learning community that strives to make a positive difference in the lives of children/students, and supporting teachers in the important work they do each day … everything I do involves supporting my administrative leadership, teachers, children, and families.”

Your advice to future students? I chose to further my education in order to be the most effective leader I could be. I would definitely recommend that they take the time to explore the options that Rivier has to offer and connect with advisors, faculty, and students about the Rivier experience.
