Responsibilities
I direct the University Honors Program which provides academic enrichment, mentoring, and community for high-achieving students.
I regularly teach a section of UHP 189: Introduction to honors. I strive for transdisciplinary courses in which students are encouraged to bring their unique academic and personal perspectives to our discussions and projects. I love to teach classes on the fusion of arts and sciences, Gothic literature, and German fairytales.
