Favorite Quote: “Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” — Voltaire

What Motivates Me Right Now: Cleveland State University as a core part of the city of Cleveland. We are Cleveland’s University, which is more than enrolling and educating students from the area. It means being in and of the city.

What Would Surprise Someone to Learn About Me: My career began as a special education teacher.

An Important Lesson I Learned: The classroom experience is one part of a person’s overall education. Education is about how we learn from and with one another.
