I am so thrilled to be serving as your Interim Resident Dean! I am in my seventh year of teaching in the Harvard College Writing Program, and I have taught in the Harvard Summer School, the Harvard Extension School, and in the Postgraduate Medical Education Program at Harvard Medical School. I hold a PhD from Johns Hopkins University, where I focused on the history and philosophy of science. At Harvard, I also have served on the Board of First-Year Advisors, and I am on the Board of Faculty Advisors for the Rising Scholars Program and a Pre-Concentration Advisor. Whether you have questions about course selection, managing academic or personal challenges, or just need someone to listen, please know that my door is always open to you. I am greatly looking forward to getting to know all of you and feel honored to be a part of this community. - ## Role [Resident Dean](/people/resident-dean)
