Five Things About Me
UK has been a large part of my life, working here since 1978. I can truly say that it is a great place to work. I was most excited to join Arts and Sciences in the fall of 2013 and I absolutely love being part of this learning environment.
1. What do you do in your spare time?
My spare time is mainly spent with my family doing fun things together with my mom, sister and two grandchildren. On the internet, I like to play words with friends and love pinterest. I like to shop for antiques or collectibles to decorate my home.
2. What is your favorite movie?
Toss up between Holiday House and Must Love Dogs.
3. What is one ambition or goal you have for the next year?
I used to be an avid outdoors person. I am planning to get back to this form of relaxation this spring and summer by taking my grandson fishing and on some one day hiking trips.
