Caroline Davis, Associate Dean, Student Outreach & Support, Dean of Students Office

Where did you grow up? Why aren鈥檛 you there now?

I grew up in Worcester, MA and actually, live close to there now! I moved to Boston after college and then to Chicago, and never imagined I would move home. Ultimately though, the east coast called me back and I moved back to be closer to my family as we started our own family.

What path brought you to BC?

As a first generation, Pell-eligible student, going from Worcester public schools to Tufts was a rough transition. I didn鈥檛 know about how to 鈥渄o鈥� college. I found my community through activism and psychology, which led me to the profession of social work. I thought I would become a hospital-based social worker, but in grad school interned in a hospital and hated it! Simultaneously, I was working as a case manager for college students at a scholarship foundation in Chicago and loved that, so pivoted into higher ed鈥攆irst in Res Life and then to BC, which was my dream job.

What are you most passionate about professionally?

I meet with a lot of students who are going through a very difficult time. I feel so privileged that we can build trust so that they can share their stories with me and we can try to find a path forward. I am passionate about working to help all students feel like they belong at BC, are seen and heard at BC, and help make 集美麻豆more accessible and equitable for all students.

Where can we find you when you鈥檙e not working?聽What鈥檚 your favorite way to spend a weekend or Sunday afternoon?

Right now, I am either hiking, running around the backyard or going on mini adventures with my family or writing papers for my Ed.D. classes! My ideal Sunday afternoon would involve some coffee, swimming in the ocean with my kiddos, chocolate, and snuggling up with a good book.

Any volunteer activities you鈥檙e crazy about?

Especially since the pandemic, I have been focused on food insecurity in a hyper-local way. We support our town鈥檚 foodbank, are part of a mutual-aid type of group and also volunteer at a not-for-profit farm in town that is working to address hunger through providing fresh produce to food insecure Worcester county residents.

Who is your hero? Why?

My husband, Steve! He is a pillar of unwavering support for me in my career and education, and all around just great. He works hard to be the type of person he didn鈥檛 really have growing up and inspires me to be the best parent I can be. He also does all of the laundry, most of the housework, and keeps me well supplied with coffee and chocolate.

Who is your mentor? How did you connect with them?

I have a few mentors, especially former bosses/women I met through work, but the one who sticks out I met in grad school. She was my field liaison-supervisor for my first clinical internship. She is an incredible clinician, funny, insightful, always a step ahead, and ready to take on the judicial system to work for those in the most need. She really supported me in moments when I needed support and guidance, but was also real and honest about her own self as a whole person.

What鈥檚 the most interesting place you鈥檝e visited?

Seattle鈥攏ot so much because it was interesting in and of itself, but because it was one of the first places I traveled to by myself as an adult and on a plane. It was the first time that I had really been out of New England and although I intellectually understood that not everyone lived in the culture I did, I hadn鈥檛 realized how that could feel. I knew then that I needed to leave Boston for grad school which is how I ended up in Chicago.

What would be impossible for you to give up?

Coffee, chocolate and real books (eg not electronic).

What鈥檚 one thing you want to accomplish before you die?

Spend enough quality time with the people who I love and who love me.

Claire Donohue, Associate Dean, Center for Experiential Learning, 集美麻豆Law

Where did you grow up? Why aren鈥檛 you there now?

Vestal, NY. It never occurred to me to stay home, a decision I find amusing when I reflect back on how beautiful that area of New York is and how low the cost of living is!

What path brought you to BC?

I met my (now husband) in undergrad. He graduated a year before me and headed to NYC for work. I was looking at grad schools, but planning on deferring for a year to give him one more year to work and put his applications in. As a consequence, I looked only in big cities, and as a northeasterner at heart, only on the northeast corridor: DC, NYC, Boston. I like 集美麻豆because it was small. My undergrad was huge鈥攁 city within itself, but in a tiny town. I found myself wanting the opposite, a small community in a large city. 集美麻豆fit the bill.

What are you most passionate about professionally?

Being of service. I know it鈥檚 like we are supposed to say that at BC, but truly I never once thought about any work other than public service anchored work. To be clear, I do not think that is the only path or only way鈥攕ome small part of me wonders why I didn鈥檛 just try to make bank, because money is power, but alas!

Where can we find you when you鈥檙e not working?聽What鈥檚 your favorite way to spend a weekend or Sunday afternoon?

On soccer fields, basketball courts, or dance competitions cheering my daughters on, riding my horse, running (though less these days than in the past), cooking, walking my ill-behaved dogs, gardening, and honestly sometimes staggering under the weight of the pressures involved in working full time and having a family. And on Sunday mornings in particular you will find me at church. A small very liberal Episcopal parish in East Milton Square.

Any volunteer activities you鈥檙e crazy about?

Serving as President of my town鈥檚 youth soccer league. (Shhh, I never played soccer growing up!)

Who is your hero? Why?

I don鈥檛 think I have one. I find most people, even people who impress the pants off of me, to be remarkable and fallible, inspiring and exacerbating. No one is my hero. We鈥檙e all just sort of in it, aren鈥檛 we? But okay, my grandmother impressed the crap out of me: marrying at 19, miscarrying as many times as she had babies, losing a baby at birth, making sure her four surviving children were educated, and in so doing, sending that next generation to university where she and her husband, my grandfather, had, at that same age, been in the mines of York, UK and the docks of Portsmouth, UK.

Who is your mentor? How did you connect with them?

I had had a shifting village of mentors over the years mostly from places I worked.

What鈥檚 the most interesting place you鈥檝e visited?

Impossible to answer!! I have loved Manie since I was a child. I was disoriented by the landscape of New Mexico the first time I visited my husband鈥檚 family there. I feel at home the minute I step off the plane in the U.K.. I had a work trip to Santiago, Chile that was so so cool. I have loved Portugal, Scotland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Ireland鈥�

What would be impossible for you to give up?

Coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And my husband and kids.

What鈥檚 one thing you want to accomplish before you die?

Oh jeez. Nothing really. I just want to be a very ordinary, happy person surrounded by good people. But okay, I want to see my kids launch into the amazing women I see in them, but their accomplishments in that regard won鈥檛 be my accomplishments. Hmmm鈥�I think I could get my spoken French back if I had time to give it a whirl. I鈥檒l let that be my answer.

Monetta Edwards, Director, Winston Center for Leadership and Ethics

Where did you grow up? Why aren鈥檛 you there now?

Guyana, South America. My family emigrated to the United States in the 80s.

What path brought you to BC?

I spent the first half of my career in the hospitality and corporate planning sphere and, in 2010, decided to make the transition from corporate work to have a more work-life balance, and found that here at Boston College.

What are you most passionate about professionally?

The reason I get out of bed in the morning is the opportunity to be part of our students鈥� journeys. Having the opportunity to play a role in their lives gives me purpose. I love that I have the ability to seekout incredible speakers who can come to campus to share their inspiring stories with our students and have them see what is possible.

Where can we find you when you鈥檙e not working?聽What鈥檚 your favorite way to spend a weekend orSunday afternoon?

Reading or going to see a live show (concert or theater).

What's your favorite way to spend a weekend or Sunday afternoon?

Brunching with family and friends, weekend getaways, listening to jazzy-type music.

Any volunteer activities you鈥檙e crazy about?

I am a 30+ year volunteer and supporter of the Special Olympics, and The ALS Association.

Who is your hero? Why?

My maternal grandfather, Curtis Hughes. In Guyana, he made an unpopular decision at the time to pay for the education of his seven daughters. His decision set the trajectory of the strong female self of worth that is ingrained in my family.

Who is your mentor? How did you connect with them?

There are several people I consider mentors. I鈥檝e never even met a couple of them, and some are even younger. I think it is important to find people whose values align with yours, who are doing work, and who are doing things that you admire and perhaps aspire to do. I was hired into 集美麻豆by Yasmin Nunez, the current Associate Dean of Finance and Administration at the Lynch School. She is someone I admire tremendously and has been an incredible advocate and sponsor for me here at BC.

What鈥檚 the most interesting place you鈥檝e visited?

The Highlands of Scotland brought me a sense of peace and serenity while I was there. Paris is my soul city, I love the smell and energy of the city and never give up an opportunity to visit.

What would be impossible for you to give up?

Hands down, ice cream.

What鈥檚 one thing you want to accomplish before you die?

Open a bed and breakfast.

Victoria Garcia, Assistant Director, Intersections

Where did you grow up? Why aren鈥檛 you there now?

I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and I grew up in Miami, FL. I鈥檓 not there now because I failed to remember warmer weather is where I truly thrive. Now I鈥檝e been bamboozled, hoodwinked, led astray to stay in Boston because of both my husband鈥檚 and my careers. I鈥檓 obviously kidding! I do love Boston, but I try to make it back to Miami as often as I am able.

What path brought you to BC?

After completing my undergraduate at the University of Florida, I moved to Boston for a year of service through City Year/Americorps. I worked as a college access counselor at a local nonprofit called Bottom Line after that. I knew if I wanted to make any kind of impact in higher education that I would have to further along my studies. I came to Boston College for my master鈥檚 at the Lynch School and worked as a graduate assistant at the Women鈥檚 Center and the Montserrat Office. 集美麻豆was dying for me to keep my talents at the Heights and offered me a 5-year $200 million contract so I have been here ever since! In reality, I worked at OIP and now at Intersections, which is an office in Mission and Ministry that helps faculty and staff engage with the Jesuit, Catholic mission of the university.

What are you most passionate about professionally?

I am passionate about providing first-generation, low-income, and/or BIPOC students with transformative college experiences. Whether I鈥檓 doing that work directly, like I鈥檝e done in the past working in student affairs or study abroad, or indirectly, like I鈥檓 doing now since I work primarily with faculty and staff, that is where my vocation lies.

Where can we find you when you鈥檙e not working? What鈥檚 your favorite way to spend a weekend or Sunday afternoon?

I鈥檓 obsessed with getting a good night鈥檚 sleep, so any good weekend has me focused on feeling rested so that it does not end in tragedy (i.e. me being in a bad mood). I love to cook so I have to make some kind of elaborate brunch at home. I don鈥檛 like having brunch at a restaurant because I consider it a scam when a dozen eggs costs $2 at the grocery store. Ideally, I鈥檇 follow that up with some kind of activity like biking, meeting up with a friend, exploring a new town, shopping, etc. I鈥檇 end the day by watching a movie and/or tv show that either enriches my world view or rots my brain. You know, balance.

Any volunteer activities you鈥檙e crazy about?

I love serving as an advocate on the Boston College Sexual Assault Network. I kind of stumbled upon the work while as a graduate assistant at the Women鈥檚 Center, and now I鈥檓 forever passionate about supporting survivors of gender-based violence.

Who is your hero? Why?

My brother Ricardo is my hero. He is autistic and proud, and he is the funniest, most poignant, most true-to-self person I know. He pushes me to be the kind of person I have always wanted to be.

Who is your mentor? How did you connect with them?

I am lucky to have a variety of people I look up to and whose lives I want to emulate, but whom I鈥檝e also tricked to be my friends and conversation partners. These include previous coworkers, old bosses, current coworkers, and bosses鈥� bosses, etc. Like I said, I connected with them and stayed connected with them because I tricked them. Now they are in my life forever and I know I can go to them for conversations on life, love, career, spirituality, justice, and the like. I also like to think these people know they can come to me for anything as well. For example, I really feel like I mentored Katie Dalton recently when I taught her how to post a Story on Instagram.

What鈥檚 the most interesting place you鈥檝e visited?

The most interesting place I鈥檝e ever visited was the Blue Mountain Peak which is the highest mountain in Jamaica and one of the highest peaks in the Caribbean. As I mentioned, I am from Miami which is currently sinking so I am not familiar with mountains and/or hiking. Jamaicans prefer to reach the peak at sunrise so the group I was with started the hike (again, first time hiking) at one in the morning in complete darkness. When we reached the summit and watched the sunrise it felt like rebirth. And then, I remembered just as I came up the mountain I had to go back down it. There鈥檚 a metaphor there somewhere!

What would be impossible for you to give up?

It would be impossible for me to give up pop culture. Even if I can鈥檛 consume or like everything, I at least have to know 鈥渙f鈥� the newest movies, music, tv shows, memes, trends, etc. I feel like TikTok is the first social media platform I鈥檝e officially aged out of which makes me feel old but I鈥檝e ultimately accepted it.

What鈥檚 one thing you want to accomplish before you die?

This is not really an accomplishment, but I really want to attend a World Cup before I die. Hopefully it will be held in South America in 2030 because it鈥檒l be the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup that was hosted and won by Uruguay. Something I鈥檝e already accomplished is winning a World Cup trivia game at a bar but the prize was an Argentina jersey which I gave to my husband since I鈥檇 be disowned for wearing that.

Ali Bane Hammond, Director, First Year Experience

Where did you grow up? Why aren鈥檛 you there now?
I grew up in Manchester, MA. I would love to live there again someday, but right now the rush-hour commute would mean too many hours in the car and away from my 2-year-old son, Harry. I now live in Stoneham, MA, about half way between 集美麻豆and Manchester, where my parents and many other family members still live.

What path brought you to BC?
For starters, I went to BC. I studied theater and communication and had no idea what I wanted to do after graduation. I ended up moving to New York City and working at N集美麻豆during my first few years out of college. During this time, I engaged in what I now recognize as 鈥渄iscernment鈥� and discovered that I wanted to pursue higher education administration. After getting my Master鈥檚 in the field, I worked at a few different Boston-area institutions and did a short stint in Washington, DC at the Department of Education before accepting a job in 2014 as the Assistant Director of FYE, an office that had a big impact on me during my own undergraduate days.

What are you most passionate about professionally?
I am passionate about the idea of belonging. This desire to belong to one another is so innate, yet often so hard to come by. I believe the desire to belong plays an important role in the transition to college, for better and for worse. Most of the programs I run in FYE and the research I engage in as a graduate student in the Lynch School concerns, to some extent, belonging.

Where can we find you when you鈥檙e not working? What鈥檚 your favorite way to spend a weekend or Sunday afternoon?
At the beach. In the summers, I鈥檓 there as often as possible enjoying the golden hour with family and friends. In the winter, I like to bundle up and go for walks along the shoreline. Being by the ocean has always been very centering for me.

Any volunteer activities you鈥檙e crazy about?
I love the Posse Foundation, a city-based organization that recruits and prepares high school students to receive full-tuition leadership scholarships to college. I volunteered with them for years as a writing tutor. I also used to volunteer at Massachusetts General Hospital. My dad had a life-saving surgery there while I was in college, and it felt like a small way to repay the incredible healthcare workers who perform miracles on a daily basis. Over the last few years, I鈥檝e had less time to devote to those organizations, and have instead tried to support candidates for political office that I really believe in.

Who is your hero? Why?
Easy call. My parents are my heroes. Their selflessness has always inspired me to be better. However, since becoming a mom, the magnitude of their sacrifice has hit me in a new way.

Who is your mentor? How did you connect with them?
I have been lucky to have had mentors who have supported me in different seasons of life. From high school teachers, to faculty members, and supervisors at BU and BC. A common thread among these relationships is that I had to take some initiative, usually by requesting a conversation, in which I learned about them or sought advice.

What鈥檚 the most interesting place you鈥檝e visited?
The place I have visited that has felt the least familiar to me is Marrakech, Morocco. My husband and I traveled there on the first trip we ever took together, so it holds a special place in my heart. I still have a bag of authentic Ras el hanout (a classic Moroccan spice) that I purchased in the medina. Every now and again I take it out of the cupboard and take whiff and it鈥檚 like I鈥檓 there!

What would be impossible for you to give up?
My first thought was coffee. My second was ice cream. But I鈥檓 going to go with my third, which was dancing. Dancing has been my 鈥渢hing鈥� since I was a little girl and even throughout my undergrad days at BC. Though I rarely take class any more, I do a lot of dancing in my kitchen鈥攐ften with my son Harry on my hip.

What鈥檚 one thing you want to accomplish before you die?
I would love to write a book someday. Maybe a children鈥檚 book.

Sarah Hood, Assistant Director Field Education, Social Work

Where did you grow up? Why aren鈥檛 you there now?

I grew up in Newton, MA. I think my mom thinks I'm too old to live with her at this point.

What path brought you to BC?

I attended 集美麻豆undergrad and then for my Masters in Social Work. I have always loved BC. After 15 years at the same company, I wanted to work with students at 集美麻豆and I was lucky to get a job.

What are you most passionate about professionally?

Student Formation. Getting to know people individually, hearing about their past, present and dreams for the future.

Where can we find you when you鈥檙e not working? What鈥檚 your favorite way to spend a weekend or Sunday afternoon?

Cooking something exotic or new for family and friends.

Any volunteer activities you鈥檙e crazy about?

I love serving on the United Way and Camp Harborview Advisory Councils. Both organizations are incrediblly different but have a huge positive impact on the community and its members.

Who is your hero? Why?

My hero is my husband Darren. Why? He is incredibly loving and approaches life in the most positive way. He sees the good in people and this allows him to be genuine, generous, optimistic and super fun.

Who is your mentor? How did you connect with them?

My mentor was and is my old boss, Paul Cataldo. He was my boss for 15 years at The Mentor Network. He is a brilliant man who leads by example by treating all employees and stakeholders with dignity. He would bring out the best in everyone and wanted anyone who worked for him to do better than he.

What鈥檚 the most interesting place you鈥檝e visited?

Medjugorje, Yugoslavia.

What would be impossible for you to give up?

Laughing.

What鈥檚 one thing you want to accomplish before you die?

Travel more!

I grew up in southern New Jersey, and am a product of town sports, Bruce Springsteen, and plenty of trips to Wawa and the local diner. While South Jersey was a great place to call home, I was captivated by New England from a young age, dreaming of city life, fall foliage, and nights at Fenway Park. I still make sure to return to my roots at the Jersey Shore each summer!

My first path to Boston College began as a graduate student at the Clogh School of Theology and Ministry in 2012, which as the start of an exciting (and unexpected) journey of ministry with college students. I happily returned to the Heights in 2017 to serve as a Campus Minister, working closely with students through service immersion and retreats. Accompanying 集美麻豆students in their joys, struggles, questions, and desires鈥攑articularly through the COVID-19 pandemic鈥攊nspired me to begin a new (although familiar) path of graduate school, studying in the Lynch School of Education & Human Development for my MA in Mental Health Counseling in 2020. My paths of working and studying at Boston College have truly shown me the importance of the Ignatian call of cura personalis鈥攖he care of the whole person鈥攁nd the ways in which we all continue to learn and grow in caring for our minds, our bodies, and our souls! In 2024, I transitioned from Campus Ministry to the Center for Student Wellness, serving as the Assistant Director for Mental Health & Wellness (and graduating with my MA in Mental Health Counseling)! I can't wait to join the wonderful聽wonderful women of Rise, accompanying them through the experiences of senior year, and supporting one another in finding balance and caring for our whole selves!

What are you most passionate about professionally?聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽

I am wholeheartedly committed and curious about the multifaceted needs of college students, particularly towards the integration and care of their physical health, mental health, and spiritual health. Whether planning a mental health event or having a one-on-one conversation, I want to learn more and support students in all aspects of their identity and college experience. I deeply care about mental health awareness and suicide prevention on campus, and am grateful to collaborate with dedicated students, faculty, and staff on campus-wide mental health events and QPR suicide prevention trainings. I am very passionate about collaborating with the Women's Center, through Rise and SANet, as well as collaborating with Campus Ministry's grief groups and grief retreat. I firmly believe (and would give my TedTalk about) the transformative power of attentive listening, authentic community, and really good icebreaker questions to foster meaningful connection!

You are most likely to find me at a group fitness class at the Rec Center (you have to try Body Combat!), hosting friends and family for Friday Firepits and pizza nights, or drinking coffee in the early hours of the morning with a Spotify playlist, scented candle, or journal nearby. My Sunday afternoons are best spent hiking with my fianc茅 Jake, taking in the beautiful scenery of the Blue Hills or Moose Hill!

Music plays a central role in my life, and I have participated in a number of church choirs and singing groups since college.

Who is your hero? Why?聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽

I have Boston College to thank for introducing me to one of my dearest friends and greatest inspirations! What makes this friend a hero to me is her resilience and unwavering commitment to the abundant life鈥攖o lifelong learning and growth, to her relationships, to her meaning and purpose with generosity to oshare it with others鈥攁nd to look always with the lens of hope. Her strength, brilliance, humor, boundless compassion, and perseverance remind me again and again that not all heroes wear capes!

One of my most formative mentors was my college campus minister, who inspired my own journey in ministry, mental health, and higher education. He was joyful, hilarious, and empathetic, helping me navigate the many ups and downs of my college experience, especially discerning what to do after graduation (as well as recovering from one or two break-ups). Most notably, this mentor walked me through the difficult experience of losing a close friend to leukemia. In the darkest moments of suffering and grief, he accompanied me in my pain and pointed towards the promise of hope and new life. He will soon be sharing in one of the happiest moments of my life, when he presides for our wedding liturgy in June 2025!

Heather Jack, Senior Associate Director of Major Giving

Where did you grow up? Why aren鈥檛 you there now?

I grew up in Annapolis, Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. I went to college in Middlebury, Vermont. After college my fianc茅 (now husband) was taking classes at 集美麻豆Law so we moved to Newton in 1996. We raised two kids in this area. My daughter is a senior now at Middlebury College in Vermont and my son will be a freshman at 集美麻豆next fall!

What path brought you to BC?

I have been involved in the non profit sector throughout my career. In the early 2000s, I founded two nonprofits, The Volunteer Family and Future Philanthropists, the success of which led to merging with national organizations, and consulted on fundraising and marketing with 20 Boston based larger nonprofits. This led to a full-time job with Advancement at the Rivers School, where I was responsible for many initiatives, including alumni relations, annual fund and fundraising for the school鈥檚 campaign. In March of 2020, I transitioned to Boston College, where I began working for University Advancement. I work in the Northern California region as a primary contact for many of our most involved alumni and parents.

What are you most passionate about professionally?

Make the world a better place through helping nonprofits achieve their missions.

Where can we find you when you鈥檙e not working? What鈥檚 your favorite way to spend a weekend or Sunday afternoon?

Going for a run outside near the start of the Boston Marathon, spending time with my family, or reading a book on the porch in my backyard.

Any volunteer activities you鈥檙e crazy about?

I have served on many boards over the course of my career but I think mentoring through RISE might become my new favorite volunteer activity! College aged seniors are some of my favorite people. There is so much potential during this time of life.

Who is your hero? Why?

If I'm being entirely honest, my hero is definitely Taylor Swift!

Who is your mentor? How did you connect with them?

I think a good mentor opens your mind up to different possibilities and points you in a different direction you could go in your life. My best mentor was my old boss at The Rivers School. She hired me, encouraged me to take on a career in Advancement, told me how much I could learn, and taught me how to be good at this job.

What鈥檚 the most interesting place you鈥檝e visited?

The Great Barrier Reef in Austrailia! I was able to go snorkling there when I was younger.

What would be impossible for you to give up?

Exercise, especially running and yoga. Also, quiet, productive working time.

What鈥檚 one thing you want to accomplish before you die?

Biking around the world with my husband.
