Q: What drew you to Taylor?
A: I heard a lot about Taylor from colleagues at Wheaton who had either attended, worked at Taylor or had kids going to Taylor.
Q: What is your "Taylor story?"
A: I originally applied as a hall director for Bergwall, but I didn't get the job. Instead, Scott Barrett, Director of Residence Life, called me and asked me if I would like to be the hall director for English, since Julia Hurlow was moving to a new position. I hadn't expected that, but I'm so glad to be here.
Q: What did you do before coming to Taylor?
A: I worked at Wheaton College as a counselor in the counseling department and the interim director of student care, but it was mostly part time. I was also a house parent at a transitional living home.
Q: What are you most looking forward to about your new job?
A: I love being with the students. I really love building personal relationships, getting to know people and having those casual conversations you don't get to have as a counselor.
Q: What is your favorite thing about English?
A: I love the people! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and there are so many diverse personalities!
Q: Are there any other fun things we should know about you?
A: I love K-pop and Korean dramas! If I ever have some downtime, you never have to wonder what I'll be doing.
