About Me

I have finished my first year in the CSPA Masters program at the University of Central Missouri. During the school year I work as a residence hall director--which entails making sure the building stays standing, hearing lots of judicial cases, supervising a staff of 20 students, serving in an on-call duty rotation, keeping up with programming standards and advising the hall council--whew!
I spent my summer in California working at University of the Pacific (Stockton). It was a great experience and I enjoyed my time on the west coast. I am back in Missouri for the second and final year of the program. The job search begins in January; who knows where I'll be a year from now... Chicago? Seattle? Boston? Oregon? Colorado? California? The possibilities are endless!
In the little free time there is: I run, play bass, listen to music, play Texas hold 'em, read, laugh a lot (and attempt to make others do the same), cook, solve sudoku and crossword puzzles, hang out with friends, camp and take pictures. I live and die with the Colts, Indiana basketball, the Red Sox, and Cubs.
