Biography

Values/Strengths

Curiosity: I enjoy learning about new topics and getting to know other people. Our students never fail to surprise and amaze me!  

Kindness: Treating others with respect, kindness, and appreciation is important to me.  

Growth: I like working hard to innovate programs, solve problems, grow with new challenges, and seek and create opportunities for learning and reflection. 

Connection: Connecting and collaborating with others and facilitating connections brings me joy and is a key part of my work at the college. 

My first job after college: Economic Policy Analyst for the City of Philadelphia  

My job during college: As a college student, I worked in retail (fashion), as a teaching assistant, and as a tutor for a study abroad program.  

My favorite place on campus: The libraries –you can find amazing materials on almost anything!  

I have worked for almost a decade in higher education in both faculty and staff positions. As the Senior Associate Director of Praxis, I work closely with students, faculty, and community partners to provide community-based and experiential learning opportunities that are integrated into students’ academic coursework and grounded in our Center’s Civic Engagement values. 

I have a Ph.D. and M.A. in Geography and Urban Studies and previously taught in the Growth and Structure of Cities Department at Bryn Mawr College. I also previously worked in city government focusing on applied policy research. My undergraduate degree is from the Universität Hamburg in Germany, where I majored in Political Science.  

I live with my husband, kids, and our Jack Russell Terrier in Philadelphia.
