Denise has worked for over a decade in both the private and academic sector at Rutgers University and other private organizations.  She often serves as an interdepartmental liaison between students, faculty, and staff.  Past experiences in Admissions and as a Graduate Program secretary has granted her a unique sense of the needs and concerns of both existing and prospective students.  In her spare time, she enjoys art, painting, cooking, and spending time with close friends and family.  She occasionally holds private painting classes for small groups as a source of enrichment and creative expression.
