What surprises you most about the Pacific community?

Pacific is a family, a strong community. The faculty, staff and students passionately care about Pacific and in crisis, in joy; in all walks of life the Pacific family/community is there to provide support, leadership, and strong friendship.

Mountain or coast?

Mountain with a lake or river would be perfect. But, then again, there’s nothing like the ocean air…

World Series or Superbowl?

World Series. Let’s go Mets! There is nothing better than going to a baseball game in the heat of summer, smelling the fresh cut grass and enjoying the warm summer breeze. But honestly I love most sports and would be happy being a spectator at most anything competitive.

Dine-out or eat-in?

Eat out. I adore food and most restaurants use it in more creative and better ways than I could ever dream up.

Most memorable movie or TV quote...

Serenity Now!

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

I would love to learn Chinese. I love languages; I have studied 5 different languages and feel that Chinese would be a great challenge.

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

I was born in NYC, have lived in 4 different countries and 5 different states. Four of the states hold the largest delegates in the Electoral College. I have voted in every election since I was 18.
