What are your hobbies?

Home improvement projects are probably my number one hobby, because I love the sense of accomplishment. Other hobbies include reading, photography, outdoor activities, live music and cooking or baking.

What's your favorite part about Roanoke?  

Definitely, the people! It's the reason I chose Roanoke for my own undergraduate experience and the reason I returned to work here. Of course, the beautiful surroundings don't hurt either.

What one piece of advice would you give new students?

Take full advantage of as many opportunities as you can-both inside and outside of the classroom. No matter what the results you won't look back with regrets.
