He told us some more about what he does, his pathway to his current role, and some of his hobbies:
I am responsible for the day-to-day management of the Nunn School graduate programs. I am the lead staff on curriculum and academic programming. I manage the schedule of classes and most of the technical aspects of course registration for the Nunn School. I manage graduate admissions and serve as a policy reference source for our faculty. I also have the privilege of helping out on the Japan Sustainable Development Study Abroad program.
I wanted to be a teacher.
Luck. The job came open just as I was finishing graduate school. I love working with my colleagues and working to make processes and manage the curriculum to make the student experience better.
My favorite spot on campus is my office. It’s like a home away from home.
I really enjoy spending time with my friends and my dog, Apollo. Apollo and I go most everywhere together these days. We love a good walk around Westside Park.
I like trying all the different cuisines and foods around Atlanta, as well as shopping at the Buford Highway Farmers Market.
“Wild Wild Country” — an amazing documentary.
Don’t depend too heavily on other people’s opinions. Trust your instincts. Choose classes/programs that are best for you, not what you think you should be doing. Don’t always assume that what you’ve heard from other students is correct.
