Why I chose WOU
WOU because I can. Because our relationships with students are what sets us apart from the rest and is the backbone of our continued success!At WOU since
09/29/2008Hobbies
Crocheting with scrap yarn never or rarely purchased, driving my teen and tween around Salem, working on my house, choring, feminist book club, dancing in the halls with Loren Wisniewski, and wishing for a partner who will teach me how to stand-up paddle board.Fun fact
What happens in Vegas does not actually always stay in Vegas. I learned so much there, and managed to retain that knowledge and brought it here with me.Hometown
SalemFavorite book/movie
Books: Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower by Brittney Cooper, Ten Steps to Nanette by Hannah Gadsby, Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny. Movies: I love comedies. Not so much slapstick, but smart comedy. I like movies, I like time to watch movies even more.Office Hours

What you will do and learn in my courses
I want folks to understand that higher education isn't just about a conveyor belt of information. Rather it should be an interuption to the conveyor belt of education, where we all stop to think, consider, and conduct ourselves with humility, curiosity, grace, and tenacity.
