Biography
A few fun facts about me...my doctoral research included several unexpected circumstances including pouring over privately-owned primary sources in a Brooklyn dining room with sounds of jackhammers and emergency vehicles punctuating the air. In addition to teaching and making music, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, cross-country skiing, baking, BBC dramas, composing music, reading, quilting, small group Bible study, church, and spending time with family and friends. My husband is a pastor, and we will celebrate our twenty-ninth anniversary this month. Our daughter graduated from college in May, married her college sweetheart a month later, and will student teach this fall. Our son sang and played violin at the wedding and my husband preached. We look forward to joining the Malone University community!
