Biography

I joined the School of Engineering in May 2019, and I have loved every moment of being a teacher here. I believe learning is a lifelong adventure, one I wake up excited to share with my students every day. In my classes, I work to spark curiosity, make difficult ideas feel meaningful, and help students discover what genuinely excites them about engineering. My deepest goal is to help them thrive in school, in their careers, and in life.
