Entrepreneurship and Innovation
120 Benton Hall

As director of entrepreneurship and innovation, I am responsible for developing and executing strategy for co-curricular programming focused on entrepreneurship and innovation, within the framework of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's Middle Campus Initiative for Arts, Creativity, and Innovation. I am also currently serving a three-year appointment as co-director of Ciccone Commons, one of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's four residential commons.

My background spans both the startup world and higher education. Prior to my current position, I was part of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's Office of Advancement, developing and executing programming to connect alumni and the university. My areas of focus included 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's leadership giving society, the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Professional Networks, and faculty events. Before entering higher education, I worked in marketing in Silicon Valley for B2B tech startups Capriza and Druva and the nonprofit Anita Borg Institute. I began my career in nonprofit marketing in Ireland after graduating from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in history and French.
