What's your favorite course (so far)?

As a former undergraduate history student, my favorite class has been History of Higher Education. I am fascinated by how modern higher education is inspired by its roots and love learning about how college life has evolved over time.

What's your favorite spot in Williamsburg?

I enjoy exploring the vibrant food scene in Williamsburg. Being a tourist town means that we have lots of great restaurants that normally wouldn't options for a town of similar size. Some of my favorite options include "Sal's by Victor," "Cook's Burger Bar," and "K'Bola."

What's a fun fact about you?

I grew up in Colorado and was involved in scouting. At one regional Jamboree, my council set the world record for the most bubble wrap popped at once!
