For as far back as I can remember volunteering has been an important part of my life. From an early age I would volunteer monthly with my grandfather at a senior residence care center as well as volunteer in other community events. As an undergraduate student I participated in numerous service programs including Alternative Spring Break and campus clean-ups. It was as a student at the University of Guelph, in Guelph, Ontario where I discovered that getting involved on campus as a student leader was a key element in my own leadership development. Through those experiences, I knew I wanted to work in higher education and pursued a master’s degree in College Student Personnel at Western Illinois University. I am lucky enough now to work with students who are looking to gain important leadership skills and qualities through campus programs, volunteerism, and being active and engaged citizens to the University at Buffalo and WNY communities.
