My favorite part about teaching at Johnson is: The community.

When I’m not teaching, I love to: Compose for musicians and/or electronics, circuit train, play racquetball and dodgeball, drink tea, and advocate for historically excluded communities through equitable and inclusive research.

In my classes, students can expect: To engage with course content through seminar-, perceptual-, and kinesthetic-based activities.

My best advice to a new student in my program is: To take the initiative to doubt the default, consider divergent ideas, and embrace the nuances of challenge and progress.

Because of my influence, I most want my students to become: Able to read, write, and speak intelligently about technology, music, and the world around them.

The myth-busting truth about my discipline I most want people to understand is: Showing up is 90% of the battle. The other 10% is craft and luck.

A quote that influences how I live: “In painting if you hesitate, you become immortal. In music if you hesitate, you are lost.” – Morton Feldman
