About Me

Hometown: Cooperstown, Pennsylvania
Alma Mater: Georgia Institute of Technology, Penn State
Penn Stater since: 1998

I love the variety I get in my day when working with students, such as helping students with a problem and serving as a student advocate with other University partners.

On the weekends, you’ll probably find me hiking, camping, hunting for a great book, or competing in Scrabble tournaments and 10Ks — unless of course I’m escaping to my ultimate vacation spot, Reykjavík, Iceland.

You might be surprised to know I dream of “thru-hiking” the Appalachian Trail.

My favorite foods are ham, gravy, and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (but not at the same time)!

My iPod playlist has a diverse selection — my favorite musical artists include Sigur Rós, Röyksopp, Muse, Madonna, and Enter the Haggis.

My favorite Penn State routine is shouting “P-S-U” in time with game-winning bump-set-spike sequences at Penn State volleyball games.

Office Hours: Noon–9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Friday (Eastern Time)
