A native of Caldwell, New Jersey, she was named first-team

of Science degree in school counseling here at The University of
Scranton.
Since September 2013, she has served as a counselor aide for
Residential Treatment Center for Clear Vision Incorporated in
Montgomery, Pennsylvania, educating 24 patients on self-esteem,
current events, and community development, along with monitoring
and addressing patient changes to counselors and training in

She also served as a tour guide for the Admissions Office at
Susquehanna for four years and as a coach/camp counselor for the
Caldwell-West Caldwell Recreation in her native Caldwell, New
Jersey, during the summers of 2007 through 2011.
