The thing I love most about USC College is:  the faculty and students I meet - thoughtful, knowledgeable and excited to be here.

If I weren’t in my current job, I would be: …a back-up singer for Jimmy Buffett.

To me, the Trojan Family is:  real.  Diverse.  A strong community in a sprawling metropolis!

My favorite spot on the USC campus is: in the evening, standing on Trousdale between Doheny and Bovard when they are both lit up…although I can’t wait until the new campus center is finished!

One of my favorite books is:  To Kill a Mockingbird.  One of my children had to read it for class, and I re-read it, too.  I still love it.
