What is your favorite thing about NKU?
To me, NKU has been a place that really supports growth both personally and professionally. I have appreciated that NKU strives to create an environment that is safe and supportive of the growth and development of their students, faculty and staff.

Where is your favorite spot on campus? What makes that spot so special?
I enjoy the tables behind the Student Union on a warm, sunny day. I appreciate observing the hustle and bustle of students while also partaking in quiet, friendly conversation with colleagues. 

What is the first word that comes to mind when you think about NKU
Growth.

What is your favorite way to spend your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy a long chat on a cozy couch with friends or a video game tournament with my kids. I like to spend time outdoors hiking or going fishing with my family. 

What is your greatest passion?
I would say that something that drives me and I find important across all settings and interactions is embracing curiosity and learning. I am a firm believer that there is always something new to learn whether that be about a relationship, at your job or with a hobby. I strive to be open minded, ask questions as opposed to making assumptions and challenge the idea of being ‘too comfortable.' There are always new perspectives and new mysteries to explore. Also….doughnuts. I’m pretty passionate about doughnuts.
