I am the Director of Health Professions. I work with Siena students who are interested in pursuing professional careers in health.
I manage the Health Professions Recommendation Committee which provides interviews and committee letters for students applying to health professions graduate programs.
I’m also the Health Science track coordinator for the Health Studies major.
