About Me:  I'm from Pittsburgh, PA.  I graduated from Upper St. Clair High School in 2007 and knew after getting accepted to Kent State that this was where I wanted to go.  After graduation, I plan on going to grad school for either education or something else that catches my interest.

I'm a member of AEPi and am currently the President.  I've also served as Social Chairman and Vice President, and I live at the AEPi house on College Avenue.  This is my second semester as a Greek Life intern and I have really enjoyed the experience.  All of my projects are very fun and of great interest to me, and working in the office has been a great experience, both from meeting everyone in Greek Affairs and from a learning standpoint.

Office Hours: Monday-Thursday from 2:00-4:00 pm

About Me:  After graduation, I plan on working for a public relations firm or as an event coordinator for a large corporation.  I am a member of Delta Zeta Sorority, where I am currently the President, and I have formerly served as the Vice President of Membership and Retention.

My favorite part about being a Greek Life Intern is that you never go a day without learning something new.  You are always kept busy, and you often get to work with and meet new people within the Center for Student Involvement.  Working for Teniell is a pleasure because she understands that you are a student first and an intern second.  Being a Greek Life intern is a great learning experience and I highly recommend it for anyone.

Office Hours: Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2:00-5:00 pm
