Activities
I am extremely passionate about the study of history and art. I try to engage in historical discussions daily, which isn’t difficult since I am a history instructor. I also love to travel and visit museums with my family everywhere we go. While I am not a skilled artist myself, I am truly passionate about art history. I am very excited to hopefully join the Humanities faculty.
