About
Welcome to EIU! I have been in higher ed working with educators since 1999 and have been a Panther since 2010. I can often be found in the residence halls meeting with students for a Chew, sitting in my office grading/ talking with students or at sporting events. My family loves living in a college town and interacting with the students. Thanks for stopping by my page!
