Teaching
I’m passionate about designing transformational experiences that result in significant enough changes in students that both they and others recognize. I create learning communities that value each member’s experiences and life stories so that students can discuss pertinent leadership issues and learn from one another.
Current courses
- LEAD/GENAG 225: Fundamentals of Global Food Systems Leadership
- LEAD/GENAG 325: Uncertainty in Global Food Systems Leadership
- LEAD/GENAG 425: Global Food Systems Leadership in Action
- LEAD 350: Culture and Context in Leadership
- LEAD 450: Senior Seminar in Leadership
I direct K-State's global food system leadership secondary major, challenging undergraduate students to drive positive change in the global problems facing food and agriculture.

I love spending time with my family, especially watching and photographing young family members participating in their 4-H, music, sports, theater, and school activities.
