About
I am originally from California, but I've lived all over the country -- in New York, Maryland, Ohio, and Oregon. Before coming to UCCS in June of 2021, I was an instructor at Johns Hopkins University, where I taught courses on the history of crime, policing, and corrections in the United States. In my spare time, I love to read, cook, watch TV, solve crossword puzzles, and hike with my dog, Ziggy. I enjoy talking about books, so be sure to let me know if you've read something great recently!
As your advisor, I am here to advocate for you, to listen without judgment, and to help you make the most of your time in college.
