Favorite Place
My favorite place is any EPIC-Network call or event where the individuals of our network share about all of their amazing work. Locally, my favorite place is the middle of the Autzen Footbridge over the Willamette River in Oregon while on a bike. I like getting off and watching the water go by. My second favorite place is the summit of the peak across from the ski lift at Ski Bowl that gives breathtaking views of Mount Hood and the surrounding forest. My third favorite place is sitting in the Albaicín looking down over the city and at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain.
How did you first learn about EPIC-N?
I learned about EPIC-N during an undergraduate research project in 2011 cataloguing innovative sustainability curriculum in higher education.
Describe your first interaction with a school community partnership project
Although it is not my first, one of the earliest and most memorable school-community partnership projects occurred during a community service-learning Spanish course in my undergraduate studies. As a part of the requirement for the course, we volunteered with a local bilingual elementary school to provide one-on-one tutoring support to students.
What are some of the priorities you are working on this year?
My biggest priority for this year strengthening and growing the EPIC-Network.
