Bio:
I'm from Whittier, California and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 1994. In 2000, I graduated with my Master of Arts in Education and Secondary Education Teaching Credential from Stanford University.

Office projects:
Honors Program Coordinator; National Merit Coordinator

I love Gonzaga basketball:
There is nothing more exciting than attending a Gonzaga basketball game with the Kennel Club leading the raucous fans!

One of my favorite classes:
I did a fellowship through National Endowment for the Humanities with Dr. Carriker in the History Department.  He is a brilliant historian and a specialist in the Journals of Lewis and Clark.  Part of the program involved re-tracing the steps of Lewis and Clark, including rafting on the Snake River in Idaho.  All was calm until Dr. Carriker loaded his water guns and soaked us, after which a two-day battle ensued!

What inspires me:
Obama's election, the Gonzaga community's commitment to service, the beauty of the northwest, music, great writing, inclusion, travel...
