People person. Down to earth. Curious. Natural communicator. Imaginative. High achieving. These are all words people have used to describe me, not only academically but also professionally and socially. I always find new ways to do things by looking through a new lens, analyzing what worked in the past, and determining how I can advance that.
Learning, creating, and helping others are some of my favorite things to do and I wanted to find a career path that fit all of those things. 
In my free time, I love to work on my art, which includes my award-winning sculptures, and read mysteries. As much as I am a people person, I have an immense love for animals, especially my dogs.
