My interest in gardening began with my move from Buffalo to the southtowns. I left behind a driveway with a "landing strip" and gained a 1/2 an acre of glorious acid soil!
In 2010 I initiated the annual Professional Senate Staff Plant Exchange at the University at Buffalo (UB). I am a member of the Hamburg Garden Walk Committee, Hamburg Beautification Committee, and a volunteer with National Garden Walk.
I have over nine years of experience in academic and research administration at UB. My experience includes marketing, financial management, alumni relations, event planning, and student recruitment. Please see a sample of my work as co-editor of the Compass newsletter, spring 2006 and fall 2006 and event planner for Career Fair.
In 2010 I re-launched the Graduate Interdisciplinary Degree program. As a result of my successful marketing efforts I have been promoted to Marketing/Development Associate in the College of Arts and Sciences at UB. My focus is academic program development, student recruitment and event planner for the annual fall Dean's Advisory Council. I am also a consultant for graduate enrollment at St. Bonaventure University.
I am also on the Steering Committee for UB university-wide events such as Campaign for the Community and Greener Shade of Blue.
