Originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I currently live in Massachusetts with my husband, Bill, our two wonderful daughters, and our five year old puppy, Charlie. 
​
When not teaching or doing research, I spend most of my spare time hanging out with my family, reading, going on hikes, hosting board game nights with friends, and cheering on one of my many favorite sports teams. I also love to hang out with my wonderful nieces and nephews!
