Leadership Team

Office Life   
Greg began working at UMass Lowell in 2014 after working for nearly 20 years at Wentworth Institute of Technology and Emerson College, where he managed a co-op program, supported career advising services, and fostered a robust employer relations program. Today, as associate dean of the Career & Co-op Center, he does all that and more for our UMass Lowell community.

Greg knows the power of networking and being open to possibilities, as that exact premise is what brought Greg to learn about the field of training and development in HR at the age of 17. This serendipitous exchange at his summer job at a golf course not only changed his major but his future.

Being at a comprehensive research university, Greg loves the variety of the student experience at UMass Lowell. Students are preparing to launch their career in so many wonderful directions.

Leadership
In addition to oversight of the Career and Co-op Center, Greg provides strategic coordination of campus-wide career connected experiences.

Out-of-Office Life
When Greg isn’t spending time with his family, he can be found on endless walks with his Bernese Mountain Dog.
