Justine Clancy, Screening Specialist / Information Advisor

Justine hails from a suburb of New York City and is a graduate of Villanova University. While earning her bachelor's degree in communications there, she was a study-abroad student in London where she enjoyed studying theater, photography, and traveling throughout Europe.

Upon graduation, Justine returned home to the Big Apple where she spent two years pursuing careers in the diverse areas of advertising and healthcare. Bitten by the travel bug and always seeking out an adventure, Justine then picked up and relocated to Japan, where she lived and worked as an English teacher for two years. She made Gunma-ken her new home, teaching students of all ages and traveling throughout Asia.

Justine is now adjusting to life in Red Sox country, excited to be working in such a supportive and interactive office here at Berklee. She hopes that she can offer a friendly face to all who enter the Counseling and Advising Center, helping to make your time at Berklee more enjoyable and comfortable.
