Do I describe myself by what I do or who I am? Like many, I often lead with my roles—educator, coach, mentor. But deeper than these titles is who I am: someone deeply curious, values-driven, and passionate about fostering growth (usually through lots and lots of practice). Whether I’m working with academics or other lovely humans, my commitment is the same—helping people uncover their potential to create meaningful, intentional lives.

​

Some specific personal roles -  I'm an ICF trained coach, daughter, wife and mother of three. I like to make things, mostly with knitting needles and yarn but also in the kitchen, the garage and even with hot glue. 

 

Some specific academic roles- I'm currently faculty in Curriculum & Instruction at New Mexico State University. My research is focused on fostering faculty engagement as it relates to student success. Past roles include Department Chair, Associate Provost for Academic Administration, Associate Dean and Faculty Senate Grievance Chair. I am also an Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology and President's Distinguished Teaching Fellow at Northern Arizona University.

​

I look forward to exploring how my background could be a resource for your personal journey!
