What is your favorite thing about working in IT or at MU?
I like working at Marshall because I feel like I grew up here. I attended undergrad and graduate school here. After Grad school, I moved away and worked in other higher ed institutions but came back for this role in IT. I find Marshall provides a relaxed and productive atmosphere as well as a nice work/life balance. More specifically, I like working in the Information Technology Division because I feel like we all work as a cohesive team. Even though there are several teams that make up the whole, the whole team functions as one and is able to accomplish some amazing things!

I can’t pick just one! Some of my favorites are BackYard Pizza & Raw Bar, Black Sheep Burritos & Brews, Buddy’s BBQ, Shangri-La and Pho House.
What is your favorite vacation spot?
The Pacific Northwest, a deserted beach, a snowy mountain, or any vibrant city foreign or domestic.
What are you currently watching/Binging?
Everything on Netflix. I’ve almost reached the end.
What are some of your favorite pastime activities?
I love to travel, spend time with my dog, kayaking and being in nature.
