I am honored to give back and contribute to what I feel is a continued transformation for this University that has an impact on so many lives.

“I love working with the Alumni Engagement staff and council members as we engage more alumni and build stronger connections between alumni and the University. We also have the Alumni of Color Network, Young Alumni Council, and Women’s Leadership Council, which are part of the larger Council and plan specific activities and outreach for those alumni.”

Gouveia Moulton resides in West Kingston, RI, with her family. Her role at BankNewport focuses on strategic growth initiatives in the commercial space, including loan portfolio diversification, the rollout of new technology and digital services, and coaching and guidance for a team of commercial bankers to grow market share.
