In college I won a poetry contest at my school, and with the cash prize I was able to take a trip to Amsterdam!

I got my BA from Albion College in German and Education, and while I was there, I did a semester abroad in Heidelberg Germany! From there, I did my MA at Michigan State.

My favorite spot on campus is the cement overlook on the Red Cedar by Wells Hall. It's very peaceful, and at times you can see some great wildlife there.
