I began my career as a Police Officer in 2008. In 2012, I graduated from Clark with a master’s degree in public administration and was promoted to Sergeant later that year. In 2020, I was appointed Chief of Police. There are many things I love about working here, but my favorite is the pure excitement I feel for welcoming first-generation college students.

Police Sergeant

Phone: 1-508-793-7575

I have been at Clark since 2012, hired initially as a per diem officer. In 2013, I was hired full time and more recently was promoted to Sergeant in 2020. My favorite thing about working for Clark University is having the opportunity to be a part of the students’ 4+ years on campus. I enjoy seeing how much they grow from their first day on campus and come into their own as they cross the stage on commencement day.
