What surprises you most about the Pacific community?

The fact that surprises me most about Pacific is what a fun environment this is to work in. It is a lucky feeling when you get to work with a great group of positive, energetic people who care about the university and all those associated with it including the students, alumni, and community members.

What did you eat for breakfast?

Cheerios and raspberries. And coffee. Always have to have coffee.

If you could take one class at Pacific University, what would it be, and why?

Creative writing-nonfiction. There are a lot of crazy stories I’ve amassed and I have to get them down on paper before my mind goes.

Favorite thing about Oregon?

Oregon is one of the most beautiful states in the whole country.
No matter what kind of person you are or what interests you have, you will find a city or a town in this state that will be a perfect match for you.

If you were stuck on a desert island, what book would you bring?

Richard Wright's Native Son.

Something that most people don't know about me...

I talk to myself all the time. Oh wait, I think my officemates already know that about me.
