About Me

I have been at Samuel Merritt since 2018, starting out as an adjunct instructor and eventually transitioning to core faculty in 2021.

I live in the east bay with my husband and our two teenagers. I love rock climbing and snowboarding but am most happy when I am at the beach with a good book!
