    Director of Student Life and dorm head of Casa.

    Also, the Toadal Showdown. (Kidding/Not Kidding...it was a required all-school relay race that involved 20 activities ranging from solving a Rubiks cube to doing a front flip off the diving board. It was absolutely amazing!)
  • When not teaching I can be found

    Out on a morning run, cheering on the Toads, or (I hope) laughing with colleagues and friends.

    Our back patio around sunset; the stairs going from the pergola to the dining hall; the gym with a full crowd cheering; the amphitheater -- because I love Assembly!

    A photojournalist.
