I serve as the collegewide director of MDC's Institute for Civic Engagement & Democracy. I have worked at MDC since 1994 and love my job! We truly are "democracy's college" and it is an honor to work with so many great faculty, staff, students and community partners and to work in a program that is all about student success and aims to help them become more informed, engaged, empathetic, and action oriented community members. Prior to MDC I served almost five years in the Peace Corps in Mali, West Africa, and Paraguay, South America. I attended the University of Virginia and Florida State University. I have been a volunteer mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters for more than 25 years.
