Before joining UNM's College of Arts & Sciences I was a teacher at Wilson Middle School in Albuquerque's International District. My favorite part of working in education has been facilitating personal understandings & growth... And along the way I've learned a lot about myself and human nature from them.

I spend my free time playing music & writing songs in nature. The landscape of New Mexico is a generous muse. I also enjoy playing tennis, and I currently have a 1-63 win/loss record when playing against my son.
