Brief Biography:
As a Peace Corps volunteer I found a true passion for service. The relationships I was able to build and the challenges I encountered truly gave me my most meaningful learning experiences. As a service-learning practitioner, I work to create and facilitate these opportunities for students to engage the community and use reflection to help them process ideas like diversity, inclusion, power, and privilege. My strengths include building relationships and creating networks within the community. I also have a tremendous amount of experience working with and encouraging faculty to effectively incorporate service into their curriculum.

Thanks to Campus Compact for all that you have done over the years to nurture the campus service and service-learning movement. When we started at St. A's 15 years ago there was a feeling among some campuses that we were seeing higher education's latest 'flash in the pan.' Instead it was the beginning of a revolution of ideas and relationships, and you guys have been fueling us all the way.
