My favorite Metro story is just beginning! After I had a stroke in 2003, I entered Metro for a second B.A. totally unsure of what to expect from myself. Thanks to Metro professors like Laura McCall and the late Paul Farkas, I found a new direction and developed new skills I never thought possible. I went on to graduate school at UC Denver and should go on to a PhD soon.

This semester I am teaching my first course as affiliate faculty in Metro's Honors Department. I'm getting used to my new role on campus and enjoying forming the kinds of mentoring relationships I enjoyed as an undergrad. Teaching is always the best part of my day, and my students are bright, active people who do not take education for granted. I also take courses for a Land Use degree part time. I hope to be a part of Metro's story for many years to come!
