"I am truly passionate about working with college students in the areas of student conduct, training and development. I believe it is extremely important to ensure the student staff and professional staff who live and work our students at Georgia Tech are well trained and prepared to do their jobs. As our students grow and development, misconduct issues happen in the residence halls. I hope that I have helped to create a process that holds our students accountable for their actions and provides an education opportunity to correct behavior.
