Service

I have been actively involved in service to both my university and diverse professional organizations, playing integral roles in study abroad initiatives, conference proposal reviews, and editorial board responsibilities, all driven by the goal of creating a significant impact within the professional community. My commitment to service aligns deeply with the ethos of my university, where the motto "The measure of a Life is its Service" resonates profoundly within the academic community.

Within the department, I assumed leadership as the committee chair for WOLC Non-Tenure-Track Faculty Evaluation, actively participated in the program development committee, and dedicated time to volunteer at various recruitment events. Recognizing the importance of program visibility, I have consistently organized French movie night events (see flyers below), aiming to enhance recognition of the French program within the student body. Furthermore, I currently serve as the faculty advisor for the French club "Entre Amis", fostering community and engagement among its members.

I joined the CHSS faculty awards committee in 2024 and have been working hard to help select the best candidates who uphold the highest standards of excellence in research, teaching, and service.
