Congratulations and welcome, class of 2027! I grew up in Fruita, CO but in many ways now consider Harvard to be home. I graduated from Harvard twice: first with my AB in Environmental Science and Public Policy and Middle Eastern Studies, then with my EdM in Teaching and Teacher Leadership. I currently serve as the Curriculum and Pedagogy Manager in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, where I help design and improve undergraduate chemistry courses. I used to teach chemistry at Chelsea High School and am passionate about helping students successfully transition from high school to college life. I love to spend my free time reading, watching movies, hiking, running, cooking, and playing piano. I look forward to meeting all of you!
