Bio
I was born and grew up in Toronto, Canada. After attending Western University in London, Ontario, I came to the United States to study at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, where I received my doctorate. After teaching in Baltimore for a few years, I came to Marist in 2002. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, making ice cream, playing squash, and travelling.
