A few words from her nominator:
"Since arriving at COM in 2022, I have consistently started my day in the early morning hours, a habit carried over from my previous work schedule. Without exception, this individual is already in the building as soon as the doors unlock—fully engaged in lesson planning, grading, and tackling countless other tasks. Their unwavering dedication and work ethic are so consistent that they can sometimes be taken for granted.
Because their modest nature keeps them out of the spotlight, I want to take this moment to recognize their impact as an outstanding instructor. They not only approach their own work with boundless energy and gratitude but also generously assist colleagues, offering guidance and mentorship to new instructors. When challenges arise, they meet them head-on with a calm and cheerful demeanor.
Beyond the classroom, they actively support students and colleagues across campus, often being among the first to attend events and show encouragement outside their department. Their commitment sets a gold standard, serving as an inspiration for others striving to make a difference.”
