Personal Biography:

After living most of my life in Illinois, Madison became my home in fall of 2013 after I enrolled at the UW to work on my Ph.D. in Italian film. When I’m not working as the WEG Student Coordinator, I teach courses both in the Italian and Communication Arts Departments here on campus. I truly enjoy teaching; the classroom is transformative not only for the student, but also for the instructor!

Favorite Quote:

“But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

No matter how much you think you may know about UW’s campus and the city of Madison, I promise, there is always more to learn and to discover.
