Originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I currently live in Albany, New York with my husband, Bill, our daughter, Elizabeth, and our four 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 and I'm excited for my newest nephew who arrived in January 2019!
