It is my mission to continue to empower Salve students to be visionary, culturally competent and responsible members our community. I hope to discover and implement new and innovative ways to engage students by providing educational and social co-curricular opportunities that will enhance the student experience on campus. I am looking forward to the great things that we will accomplish as a team.”
