The 2026 University of New Mexico McNair Scholars Research Conference

Having dedicated 20 years of my career to higher education, my colleagues and current graduate students at WPI would consider me as a “Jack of all trades.” More than a decade of this experience has been in Graduate Admissions and Graduate and Professional Education, focusing on recruiting, supporting, and empowering an inclusive community of STEM-focused graduate and professional students in both master's and doctoral programs. As an immigrant from Poland and first-generation college graduate in my family (BA/MA Classics & Art History; UMASS Amherst), I am prepared to help you successfully navigate your graduate journey. I can also provide insight into graduate program details and requirements, the application process, and life as a graduate student at WPI. I personally feel that my true calling is to help others, no matter who you are or where you come from. I look forward to meeting you at UNM McNair Conference!
