"I try to teach students how to learn and how to use that knowledge to be successful in their academic and professional careers.
"Almost all graduates remember one teacher, one professor who stood out from every other faculty who instructed them as undergraduates. I want to be that individual: supportive, understanding, patient, and knowledgeable."
