Hello Meese! I’ve had several roles at Harvard over the past twentysomething years. Currently I am Program Manager for Military Student Services at Harvard College, where I work mostly with ROTC and veteran students. Prior to that, from 2000-2019, I provided counseling and academic support to Harvard College students at the Bureau of Study Counsel (BSC), an office that no longer exists. I also started and ran Harvard’s former in-house sport psychology program for varsity athletes (called AAPEX – Athletic, Academic, & Personal Excellence) from 2005-2015. I coordinate the Harvard College Marathon Challenge, too, which you should definitely check out!

Here's a bit more about my background. I’ve lived most of my life along the East Coast of the US. As an undergrad, I studied downriver at MIT, earning undergraduate (S.B.) and graduate (S.M.) degrees in business (mostly real estate and finance). After six years working with adjudicated and at-risk youth as a field instructor in several wilderness-based, experiential education programs (kind of like FOP), I returned to grad school at Harvard (Ed.M. in Adolescent Risk & Prevention) and then went down to George Washington University in DC for my doctoral years (Psy.D. in psychology and J.D. in law). I enjoy non-competitive distance running, exploring far-flung parts of Boston, and eating unhealthily.

Over the years, I've worked with Harvard College students experiencing all sorts of challenges, mostly with student-athletes, LGBTQ+ students, students involved in Title IX issues, veterans, and ROTC cadets and midshipmen. I'm happy to talk about whatever's on your mind. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to have a conversation, as it's always a pleasure and an honor to work with the amazing students at Dunster House!
