I was excited by the CFI's work and the cross-campus community and support that it provided as a new faculty member at JMU in 2023. As a former student services professional, I have a background in supporting others' personal and professional growth that manifests in different ways across facets of my work as a faculty member. At the CFI, I am excited to be able to bring together my dedication to supporting others and my scholarship on workplace wellness rhetorics to help advance the CFI vision to "cultivate inclusive communities of peers committed to helping each other succeed, advancing individual and organizational change."
