I really enjoy my work as a teacher and researcher. I also strive to be a well-rounded person and explore different interests outside of Political Science in my downtime.

I am especially interested in film photography, embroidery, long distance running, and composing/playing music at local open mic nights.

I volunteer frequently at the local non-profit organization Film Streams and I am a season ticket holder for Omaha Symphony concerts.

I also love neighborhood walks, weekend mornings at Omaha Farmer’s Market, and cooking (in particular, I make a great paella).
