I value environments that center service for diverse students and communities and support my goal to strengthen the ability of individuals to understand and participate in positive change in the world around them. My professional experience as an educator is benefited by my academic background in communication studies, rhetoric, writing, and community planning. My background provides me with a broader lens to understand the landscape in which teaching and learning occurs and how that affects our everyday experiences.

Watching too much Youtube/TV, reading, exploring the world on my bike, and I enjoy the hobby of finding a new hobby.
