When did you join Student Academic Affairs? 3/14/2022
What was your path to Student Academic Affairs? Before joining SAA I was a middle school math and science teacher. After graduating college in 2007 I went straight into the classroom and was there until 2022. Working at SAA is the beginning of a new career for me, and I'm excited for the opportunities that will come up in that transition.
Why did you join SAA? I joined SAA because I really enjoy being a school setting. The culture of academics and learning is something I've always been immersed in and joining UM is a natural extension of that dream.
A subject you love and why? I love biology and ecology. Nature has always been a calming place for me. Understanding our biosphere and the patterns found in it has been fascinating to me since I was a kid. I also love education and pedagogy. I was a middle school teacher for 14 years. How to structure and facilitate learning to a diverse group of people with different learning backgrounds has always been interesting to me.
Interest and Hobbies: Reading, cooking, photography, retro video games, collecting hobbies and cats!
