This has been a year of transition for me. After 7 years in Madison, Wisconsin, I recently got married, moved to Chicago, and started this great job at NPU! I love spending time with friends chatting and eating good food. Other than that, I love to travel and meet people from other cultures. I have spent extended amounts of time abroad in Chile, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Israel. I am looking forward to working with students and building relationships with our partner organizations around the world.

Putting on plays with my brother and cousins in the basement. We would dress up in our parents’ old clothes from the 80s, create a quick story line and plot, and then call all the grown-ups in to watch. As the older sister, I was usually the director. My younger brother was the star.

Remember Charley from Heroes—the woman that could learn a new language in a week! I would love to be able to do that.
