Some biographical tidbits:

I built a scaled model of the White House out of sugar cubes in 7th grade. I am a welder. I practice yoga. I learned to walk on stilts and ride a unicycle in grade school.

I have always been interested in creating imagery. I was chosen to create a large fish- in the Erie - GOFISH project. I was one of the first commissioned to create a fiberglass frog in the Leap Frog Project. My grandfather was a photographer. I followed his footsteps. My absolute favorite piece of software is Illustrator. I have a dog named Boolean and two cats- Digit and Gracie.I am married to a great guy. He is an architect, we talk line, shape, color, texture and light-- over dinner. My favorite academic books are written by a scholar named Edward R. Tuftes- VIsual Explanations, Envisioning Information and The Visuial DIsplay of Quantitative Information.

Stay curious. Ask questions. Draw problem and solution maps. Become a good listener. Show up. Don't be afraid of hard work. Be passionate. Breathe.

Gannon provides an environment where you can succeed beyond your wildest dreams. It is a dynamic environment for those who decide to get involved, meaningfully.

So many successes. When someone finally "gets it" is the best success.

Either Freshman Speech or Senior Thesis. The classes are at the two ends of the spectrum, I love the Freshman excitment; but I admire the process that allows the seniors to put all the pieces together, thoughtfully, for their senior project.

Visual Explanations- clarity and quality in visual information. New Faculty Mentoring. Marketing and branding in Higher Education.
