At BU since: ÔÇï2011
On the weekends you can often find me: Cooking, probably. Or baking.ÔÇï And spending time outside.
I can't imagine life without: ÔÇïÔÇïI once was lost, but now I am found, at Wegman's.
On vacation you can find me: Either exploring a new city, or else tromping through the woods.
The best part of being an advisor is: Having the opportunity to meet so many talented students with such diverse interests.
My favorite season in the northeast is: That wonderful stretch from midsummer through the fall, when all of the fruits and vegetables come in.
If I had to survive on just one kind of food, it would be: The right answer is potatoes. But the honest answer is that I'd be unable to choose, and I'd starve.
My favorite books are: Weird and escapist. Right now I'm working through HP Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith.
As a sports fan, I always root for: The Detroit Red Wings
