I connect to them, no matter the age and I am fulfilled by the desire to learn that is within them. I want students to know I care about them and their entire make up, not just their money or attendance in my course. In my experience, I've spent a lot of time learning their "why" and if students know instructors considered this, they would gain another reason why their experience is invaluable. I hope I can be an asset to this program and those going on this journey with me. I have a background with organizational change and research development, so I can share my experiences with my peers. I have seen the classroom from various ways including being a teacher, a Dyslexia specialist, and an adjunct instructor teaching First Year Learners and English Language Learners. Additionally, I am very keen on adapting while being in new spaces. I work hard and when I am tired, I work harder.

Writing, reading, spending time with my dogs and family, creating and more. I love to listen to podcasts and watch true crime. I also enjoy cooking and shopping.
