I’m a higher education professional focused on helping students engage across difference and build stronger communication skills.

​

I am currently the program coordinator at Dartmouth Dialogues, where I design and lead dialogue programming for Dartmouth College. My work centers on creating and facilitating programs that help students navigate complex conversations with curiosity, empathy, and respect.

​

Previously, I co-founded the Positive Connection Initiative, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit where I worked on research-informed programs exploring the role of connection in human flourishing and prosocial behavior. This work focused on translating ideas from psychology and related fields into practical tools that people can use in everyday interactions.

​

I earned a B.A. in philosophy, politics, and law from Binghamton University (SUNY) and completed a fellowship at the university’s Center for Civic Engagement. There, I helped develop and facilitate social-emotional learning and dialogue programs for students, and co-founded the Civil Dialogue Project, which reached over a thousand first-year students.

​

As an undergraduate, I co-founded Happy Medium, a student-run nonpartisan publishing group. Through that work, I collaborated with student leaders across the political spectrum to support more constructive and collaborative engagement on campus.

​

Across my work, I’m interested in how institutions can create the conditions for better conversations—not by forcing agreement, but by making it easier for people to listen, reflect, and respond thoughtfully.
