Why do you think it’s important to give back to USD?

USD invests in people at pivotal moments in their lives. Giving back ensures today’s students have the same - or better - opportunities to grow, lead and contribute.

What is something on your bucket list?

Seeing my kids grow into confident, kind adults—and taking a few meaningful adventures along the way.

If you could swap lives with any character from a movie or book for a day, who would it be?

Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. Sharp, observant, principled, not afraid to challenge the status quo—and grows without losing herself. Strategic before strategy was cool.
