I am fascinated by people–who they are, where they came from, and the story of how they got to where they are today. I’m interested in people who share my story, but I’m even more interested in those who have a completely different story. To me, commonalities are nice and even comforting, but the differences are so exciting! I always want to know what it’s like to live another life, to view the world in a different way, to experience different successes and struggles, and to follow different social customs or cultural traditions. This passion for examining diverse human stories is what led me to study acting in college, and what drew me to work in higher education–a setting in which learning, growth, and discourse are at the heart of the mission. Diversity among humans makes the story so much more interesting, so it’s hard for me to understand why not everyone feels that way.
