About Michelle

I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a Concentration in Digital Marketing and Analytics. I lived on campus and was deeply involved throughout my four years there. I was part of a group called the Husky Haulers, where we helped students move into their residence halls. I also joined the Hunger and Homelessness Club, where we held fundraisers to support various campaigns. During my junior year, I created my own study abroad program and was able to travel overseas to the American University of Beirut in Lebanon.

As an undergraduate, I worked in Residential Life as an Assistant Hall Director, where I helped students with their living situations. It was through this job that I discovered my passion for working in higher education. I loved supporting students and making sure they always felt right at home.

I joined the University of New Haven in 2019 as Assistant Director of Undergraduate Admissions and I couldn’t be more grateful to work with such an amazing team who all share similar values. Seeing how much everyone cares for the students here makes me proud to be a member and representative of the university. In 2024, I earned my MBA from the University of New Haven, an experience that deepened my connection to the Charger community and strengthened my commitment to helping students find their place here.

I am excited to meet the future students of the University of New Haven and their families, and I look forward to assisting them throughout the admissions process!
