Service

Service is an essential part of my work as a faculty member and scholar. I understand service as a practice that builds community, supports shared governance, and extends the values of care, collaboration, and accountability beyond the classroom. This page outlines the ways my service unfolds across the university, the local and regional community, and the national discipline.

My local and regional service connects my scholarship and teaching to broader community engagement. This work includes partnerships, student mentorship, and participation in regional organizations that support cultural, educational, and artistic initiatives.

My national service reflects ongoing leadership and professional engagement within my discipline. Through committee work, editorial service, and organizational leadership, I contribute to shaping scholarly conversations and supporting inclusive practices across the field.
