Administrative Specialist

I enjoy the ability to help students as well as the various individuals from different departments. My advice to current students is that the effort you put into today is creating the foundation of the future you are working toward, so make sure to give it your very best. To any future students, just remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. As long as your steps are going forward, no matter how slow or small they may be at times, you are going in the right direction.

I like JCC because it’s a big school that feels like a close-knit family. It feels like a place where I can plant my feet and be here for a while. I got my associate's degree here, and my daughter went here too, so I have ties to JCC on top of being from Fredonia.

In my off time I enjoy outdoor activities very much, and hiking is one of my favorite pastimes.
