For those of you in Colorado, I keep asking: "where's the snow?!" Global Warming is making me nervous, y'all!

I just wrapped up Succession (so good, but so dark!). I'm also a big fan of The Handmaid's Tale (why are the dark ones always so good?!), 90 Day Fiancé, Insecure, and can usually be found watching reruns of The Office, Parks & Rec, and anything on HGTV. I'm also very much looking forward to the new season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (coming out in February!). I'd love to hear other recommendations if you all have any!

INTPs are philosophical innovators, fascinated by logical analysis, systems, and design. They want to understand the unifying themes of life, in all their complexity.

INTPs are detached, analytical observers who can become deeply absorbed in thought. They spend much of their time in their own heads: exploring concepts, making connections, and seeking understanding of how things work.

I've recently gotten on a HUGE sustainability kick, switching from using plastic in any way that I can. If you all haven't watched the David Attinborogh documentary on Netflix, I highly recommend it!

I've spent the last year getting back on the fitness track after taking some time off from working out. I think this shirt is just about perfect for me :)~.

My sister, Allison, also works and teaches at DU. We are mistaken for twins constantly (I wonder why...). You might have a chance to take a class with her (or you might have already done it!)!

I love teaching this course because it gives you a chance to apply what you've learned in this program and your career. I'm VERY flexible, but you have to communicate with me so I can support you through this process!

I got my masters in Higher Education right here at DU, and went to the University of Georgia for my bachelors degrees (Psychology, Child/Family Development)

This is my favorite girl, Lenny the lunatic longdog.  She reminds me not to take life TOO seriously :).  She also reminds me of Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars in this picture.

I took this picture in the summer of 2017 while I was visiting the fjords of Norway.  I HIGHLY recommend traveling there - it's breathtaking. I'm so glad travel is an option again and am already trying to think of my next destination. Any suggestions?

Here's a picture of my family at my brother's wedding 2 years ago (I'm next to my brother).  I've since gained another niece and two more nephews!

I work on the Student Success team in the Provost's office here at DU, overseeing the implementation and adoption of a new student success platform on campus. The goal of the system will be to holistically support students better through more coordinated and data-driven strategies. But I obviously ALSO teach, which really gives me a connection back to students (I was previously an advisor and really miss my student interactions!).
