I am...
...a native Washingtonian, who grew up in and around the City of Spokane. I earned my bachelor's degree in Political Science from Seton Hall University, in South Orange, NJ., with minors in History, Women & Gender Studies, and Diplomacy & International Relations. Returning to eastern Washington for graduate studies has been a sort of homecoming, and the rural, rolling hills of the Palouse remind me of the West Plains where I grew up.
When not teaching classes in Constitutional Law, Judicial Politics, and American Government, or conducting research, I enjoy traveling around the Northwest, exploring Seattle, Portland, and other amazing cities, visiting and admiring courthouses, concert-going, hiking, and dabbling as a hobby photographer.
