    Hobbies: Besides enjoying my family and supporting the athletics and arts accomplishments of my two school-age children, I enjoy hiking, photography, travel, service learning, video production and voice-over work, writing, and supporting my alma mater, USC.

    Favorite thing about Buckley: Over the course of my nine years in the Buckley community, I have been most impressed by our community of learners, both students and adults, who have embraced change while holding tradition close. We have been surfing the waves of institutional evolution during my soon-to-be decade on campus, and I am so proud of how our community has grown, embraced its mission, developed the Portrait of a Graduate, and given life to the term “lifelong learner”.
