Favorite Weekender feature?: Quick Chord. It helps me keep up on the music scene.

Who do you admire?: Those who do small things with great love.

What would your last meal be? Something gluten free, plant-based, soy free, corn free and oil free. Probably a tasty potato dish with vegetables, a freshly made juice, and good company to share it with.

What is your life motto? “We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.” –CS Lewis

What accomplishments are you most proud of?: Loving the people in my life who are important to me; Being able to collaborate with and meaningfully helping people at challenging times in their lives as a social worker; Enrolling in a Ph.D. program in Gerontology; Having the honor of being an Assistant Professor of Social Work/ Field Director at Misericordia University, where I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work with great colleagues and social work students.

What 3 things can you not live without? Truth, Guitars and it would be a close battle between my Vitamix blender, chefs knives, rice cooker, juicer, or my Instapot cooker

What do you do for fun?: I play a number of musical instruments and like to write music. I used to paint and sculpt, and plan to seriously make art again in the future. I thoroughly enjoy adventure, international travel, and sharing new experiences and meals with people. I like rock climbing, kayaking, and yoga. I have a list of hobbies that I would like to add to my life when the timing is right, like root cellaring, shaving with a straight edge razor, and possibly becoming an aerial yoga instructor.
