How many SIGUCCS conferences have you attended?
11

Which previous SIGUCCS conference was your favorite, and why?
It’s really hard to pick a favorite! St Louis in 2009 stands out as special as that was the first year I volunteered on the program committee. Not only was my stint as a track chair an incredible professional development opportunity, but celebrating the success of the technical program with authors and other committee members was very special and brought home how uniquely special SIGUCCS conferences are as a professional development experience!

How did you get involved as a volunteer in SIGUCCS?
I started out presenting and then volunteered as a session chair to connect with other program authors. I often rotate attending SIGUCCS with other colleagues and started to volunteer on the program committee as a reader and track chair as another way to stay connected!

What’s an accomplishment that you are especially proud of?
I’m proud of the work I’ve done to keep the Lewis & Clark Annual Faculty Technology Institute relevant and engaging for our faculty.

You could always stop and talk to me about…
Vegetable gardening, Yosemite National Park, and epic fantasy fiction.

What do you do for fun?
Gardening, hiking, cheer on the Portland Timbers and Thorns, gaming, reading
