I'm an engaged, curious, and creative problem solver who values community and forging strong, interpersonal connections. Currently, I'm proud to support curricular innovation in the liberal arts by combining my digital design training with an extensive, 16-year background in higher education. In my free time, I enjoy art and design and taking a closer look at the world around me, whether it's virtual (reading up on generative AI) or a self-guided nature walk (ask me about the NYC Tree Map, https://tree-map.nycgovparks.org!).Background photo: Cyathea australia (Fiddlehead Fern), family Cyatheaceae, Plate No. 2, Facsimile of original watercolor by Beverly Allen, Australia.
