Brief Biography:
My professional experience includes providing leadership, direction and strategy for service-learning activities related to courses and community-based research. I have also taught courses on service-learning pedagogy and approaching research with communities, as well as composition and creative writing. Additionally, I have experience establishing new service related programs within a university, as well as working with a well-established center for public service. I have interest in just partnerships, international service, ethical considerations in service, the intersections of identity and service, inspiring service professionals, and work-life balance for professionals and students who serve.

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.
