ABOUT ME

I grew up in Colorado (USA) and was raised in a family that taught me the value of education and communication. Already in elementary school, I worked with international students, helping Vietnamese pupils with their writing. Later, in college, I worked as an English tutor for a program that helped newcomer students in their quest to master English and successfully complete their courses of study. Although I was the ostensible teacher in these situations, I found I learned just as much from those with whom I worked. These early life experiences have been the basis for my passion to advise both local and international researchers and help them succeed in an increasingly competitive and globalized academy.

In 2012, I received my Ph.D. in the History of Religions from the University of Chicago. Since then, I  have successfully won third-party funding, had postdoctoral positions in Germany and Canada, published numerous original research articles, and developed an innovative community-based nature conservationist project.
