I was born in Toronto, Ontario but have lived in Nashville, TN since I was 8 years old. I drive a 1994 Nissan Sentra which I have driven over 200,000 miles in. I am a music snob, meaning that I like all kinds of music as long as I deem it to be “good”. I am a movie junkie – especially documentaries. I am also a rabid hockey fan. I have worked for Southwestern for 14 years now and am proud to be associated with the self-motivated, energetic, and fantastic university students that participate in the summer program. Thanks for reading my posts!
