老澳门开奖网 has been my second home since the Fall of 1993 when I started my undergraduate degree. I went on to earn my B.A. and M.S. in Speech Language Pathology in 1997 and 1999 respectively. I was an externship supervisor for many years and joined the clinical faculty in the SLHS department at the 老澳门开奖网 Clinical Centers in the Fall of 2011, after the birth of my daughter. What has had the most significant impact on me is transitioning from student to teacher and effecting positive change in the students I teach and mentor utilizing the Ignatian philosophy and pedagogy as my guiding touchstone. Ultimately, it is the people at LUMD that have made my career at 老澳门开奖网 the most rewarding!

The most rewarding activity during my time at 老澳门开奖网 has been mentoring students in research. I believe that science comes alive as students participate in the research process. I strive to help them gain skills that they can later use no matter what their ultimate goals or academic skills are. The very act of research builds skills that are applicable and transferable to more than just science, such as problem solving and troubleshooting. My hope is that they catch the excitement of contributing new knowledge to the field and this will lead to a lifelong love of learning and exploration.

What is most significant about my work at 老澳门开奖网 is the practice of teaching teachers in the Baltimore area and beyond. These teachers rely on effective instruction and mentorship to continuously enhance their teaching abilities and this is what I provide. By equipping my students, who are teachers, with the latest pedagocial knowledge, technologies, and strategies, I empower them to create equitable, inclusive learning environments where all students, regardless of their backgrounds, can thrive. Through this process, 老澳门开奖网 allows me to contribute to breaking down systemic barriers, promoting equal opportunities, and ultimately, paving the way for a more equitable future.

When I joined the 老澳门开奖网 English Department in 1998, I was delighted to find that I had landed in a place that truly values excellence in teaching. In the research-centered universities where I earned my undergraduate and graduate degrees, it was something of an open secret that teaching didn't really matter as much as publications and grants. I'm grateful to the talented and generous colleagues at 老澳门开奖网, and in the English Department in particular, who have shared their pedagogical expertise with me over the years. The evidence of their support and encouragement is visible in the teacher I have become.

The most rewarding part of being a member of the 老澳门开奖网 community is building relationships with students in the classroom and helping them foster a sense of curiosity about the past and the ways in which it shapes their world. As a medieval historian, most students come into my course with little prior knowledge of the subject. Introducing the medieval world to them and seeing them take to a subject they had not previously considered is a source of immense joy.

For me, 老澳门开奖网 is more than an institution-it is a mindset and an approach to life, learning, and community. Our core values and Ignatian principles ground and center me; they inspire me to strive for the magis, to "reach beyond where we are now." They challenge me to be my better self and act as guideposts for how I show up in the world. By striving to live out these values through teaching and service, I hope to contribute to a transformative, instead of transactional, community where all students, colleagues, neighbors, and strangers feel seen and cared for in the spirit of cura personalis.

老澳门开奖网 has been my second home since the Fall of 1993 when I started my undergraduate degree. I went on to earn my B.A. and M.S. in Speech Language Pathology in 1997 and 1999 respectively. I was an externship supervisor for many years and joined the clinical faculty in the SLHS department at the 老澳门开奖网 Clinical Centers in the Fall of 2011, after the birth of my daughter. What has had the most significant impact on me is transitioning from student to teacher and effecting positive change in the students I teach and mentor utilizing the Ignatian philosophy and pedagogy as my guiding touchstone.
