I started grad school here in 2017.

I used to work as a fundraiser and was only able to see the changes we made in students' lives from afar. Today, I get to partner with students and watch them learn and grow every day!

I have the following pets… 3 dogs! Macaroni is a yellow lab, Lolo is an English springer spaniel, and Ruby is a German wirehaired pointer.

My favorite place I have traveled is… Europe. I studied abroad in England for a semester as a history major and wrote my senior thesis on the longbow.

In my spare time… I play disc golf and video games, and I love to be outside with my wife and dogs.

When it comes to sports, I love playing them and watching the Philly sports teams. Go birds!!!

My favorite things to eat are… A nice steak and macaroni and cheese. (Not necessarily at the same time… But who knows?)
