Beyond the Bio
Favorite place on the University of Pittsburgh campus?
My favorite place is the Cathedral of Learning for obvious reasons.
What is your favorite thing to do in the city of Pittsburgh?
I love exploring the city and trying new restaurants. My top two suggestions would be Kaya and Piccolo Forno.
What is your favorite aspect of working in Pitt’s athletic department?
Definitely the people. I work with the most kind and talented staff, student-athletes, and Forever Panthers.
If you could have dinner with any three people who would it be and why?
My three people would be Nick Offerman because I think he is hilarious and interesting, Michelle Obama because I think she would be such a fun person to talk to and learn more about, and lastly would be Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson – I would request that he prepare the dinner so we could all smell what the rock is cooking.
Hobbies outside of work?
I am a plant lady and I love to garden. I also love to travel and take weekend getaways whenever possible.
