Biography
I enjoy cooking and baking, spending time with friends and family, making jewelry, gardening (anything outdoors!), traveling, and church activities. My current research interests include better understanding restorativeness on Taylor’s campus by better learning about Taylor students’ personalities, subjective well-being, and their use and perception of campus spaces.
