Leadership Positions
I was the Statistics Program Coordinator (SPC) from 2013 through 2017. In the beginning of the Fall 2013 semester my department had about 30 statistics majors and that number doubled by the end of my tenure as the SPC.
From 2018-2021 I took on the role of the First Year Mathematics and Statistics Coordinator, which involves me working with faculty on the implementation and assessment of First Year Foundations courses, with an emphasis on STS 1100 (Introduction to Statistical Reasoning), a course which has approximately 40 sections per year.
In the 2020-2021 Academic year I was the Chair of the Global Education Curriculum Committee. From 2020 to 2023 I was a member of the Academic Affairs Advisory Committee. I have been a member of Academic Council and the Committee on Committes from 2021 to 2023. I was the Chair of the Committee on Committees from May 2022 through December 2023.
