In Person
I currently work for Darden Restaurants, a leading full service restaurant operator with over 1,700 restaurants in the U.S. across the casual and fine dining segments. I joined Darden in July 2014 in the Investment Analysis group, analyzing the financial viability of potential new restaurants, as well remodel and facilities investments. I am currently the Manager of Supply Chain Finance, supporting the team that purchases and deploys all of the food, beverages, equipment, supplies, and services that are used by our restaurants every day. I truly enjoy analytics and watching the projects that we work on come to life in our restaurants every day!

After graduating from Westover in 2003, I attended Bentley University in Waltham, MA. I graduated with a major in Corporate Finance & Accounting, and minors in International Studies & French. While at Bentley, I was lucky enough to study abroad in Paris for a semester.
Upon graduation from Bentley in 2007, I began working at Gorton's Seafood in Gloucester, MA in their Financial Management rotational program. I held 5 different roles within Finance and Accounting over my 7 years at the company. I also completed my Masters in Finance while working full time. In 2014, my husband and I decided to make a lifestyle change, which brought us to Florida and to my current company.
I currently serve on the Westover Alumnae Board of Governors and as a mentor for Westover's Invest in Girls program. I have also volunteered as Class Secretary & Reunion Chair since graduation in 2003.
