I am passionate about emergency management and what it can do for our communities. I love to teach and engage with the members of the audience. As a professor, I learn as much from my students as I teach. As a profession, we are collaborative by design, I bring that practice to my lectures. I am interactive, engaging, and collaborative, and passionate about how to make our profession better to serve our communities.
