At heart I believe simple is the best and that simple things are beautiful and deep. I am forward-looking and I enjoy change, innovation, and human advancement. I am committed to humanitarian causes.

Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to me. My strengths are my zeal and love for life, my creative power, and my warm and generous heart. I am an “up” person, positive-minded and lively, and I generally have an invigorating, inspiring, energizing effect on others. I am highly imaginative and creative. My travels have included humanitarian trips to Moldova where I have visited orphanages.

I have worked at The University of Alabama since 1990.
