About

I came to Taylor because of the combination of excellent academics and the true care the faculty and staff show for students. At some universities, it certainly seems you are just a number. At Taylor, the focus on intentional community and servant-leadership are real and prominent, without leaving academic achievement by the wayside. The strong combination of both is important to me and makes Taylor unique.

I like spending time with my family, reading, board games, baking, photography, knitting, crocheting, quilting, gardening. Am I excellent at any of these? No. But do they make me happy when I make time for them and do I hope to keep improving? Yes!
