Professional Bio

Favorite Quote: “Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It's all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.” -Susan Sontag

Favorite College Memory: Presenting my original poetry at the Sigma Tau Delta Convention in New Orleans. I also had the opportunity to meet two of my favorite poets—Naomi Shihab Nye and Natasha Trethewey—while I was there!

Favorite Campus Location: The Arboretum

Favorite Color: Blue

Favorite Berkey Creamery Flavor: I might be an outlier here! I don’t have one!
