After participating in the 2010 Assessment Institute and being wowed by the incredible assessment knowledge and enthusiasm of all those who organized the event, I became a member of  Directorate Board in 2011 and have served as the curriculum co-chair for the 2012 and 2013 Assessment Institutes. By day I can be found at the University of Arizona where I am an Assessment and Research Specialist within the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, and by night, you may find me sipping a new Belgian beer with my husband; enjoying a walk, run, or bike ride at the base of the beautiful Tucson mountains; or working on various DIY projects around the house while listening to an audiobook.
