Describe your typical day on campus

I usually get to campus early so I can get to class early to make sure everything is working properly. And then, I teach class, have office hours, and teach class again before returning home to, hopefully, grade.

On the weekends where can we expect to find you?

I would like to say in Sedona, but I’m probably just watching TV instead.

My favorite thing about working at NAU?

The School of Communication is full of creative and interesting people!

Favorite Flagstaff summer activity?
