Although a native of the American Midwest, I have lived in many places and learned the challenges and beauties of crossing cultures, both inside and outside the U.S. I have a distinctly pragmatic approach to teaching, believing that my primary focus is what best serves the students as they seek to discover new ideas, new talents, and consequently, themselves and their role in society. This attitude carries over into my work advising students as well.
