Bio

Staff Assistant in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering Technology and the part-time SD-CoMets Grant Coordinator. Paige is responsible for providing logistical, administrative, and clerical support for the SD-CoMETS program management team, scholars & the Department Chair of her department. She earned a BA in psychology from George Mason University and chose this path because she has always been interested in understanding human behavior, and finds meaning in helping others succeed.  Learning how to put herself in the shoes of others to better understand how their perceptions lead to the reality they experience has been invaluable in her role. Guiding and influencing students has led her to create bridges and better connect these bright scholars with their most meaningful goals. She chose to work at RIT for the privilege and opportunity to work with students and truly enjoys helping shape their future success
