Responsible stewardship of our past requires that the inheritors of our history understand and value it. For me, educating and exciting students about the importance of our collective past is both extremely enjoyable and rewarding. Furthermore, students' energy and creativity is invigorating, and their fresh perspectives stimulate thoughtful debate and produce innovative solutions for a discipline that is constantly evolving.

Preservation is an overarching term for a multidisciplinary field and has many definitions. However, I believe preservation is most effectively defined as "the careful management of change." The story of a building, landscape, or community is one of continual evolution, and it is the recognition and interpretation of that evolution that gives history great richness and appeal.

A successful history is one that adapts to the present and finds a way to relate to the future. As we preserve, we must be cognizant of not only accuracy but relevancy. In addition to treating historic resources with the highest of standards, we have a commitment to ensure that these resources play an active role in their communities.

I believe that each student needs a stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature academically, intellectually and professionally, and it is my desire to help students meet their maximum level of potential by providing an interactive learning environment that invites a sharing of creative, professional, and futuristic preservation visions and perspectives on the contemporary built environments."

"Both the profession and academia of architecture demand the highest of standards - it would be a disservice to the students not to require only the best of their effort and assist them to reach these high standards. Students are encouraged to go further with their work through suggested readings and input from all professors and peers. The professor should inspire and lead the student into taking on their own responsibility to critically learn, have ownership of their projects and challenge themselves."

"As an archeologist, I sometimes found that my job was to excavate and document sites as a last resort before they were destroyed. The work was fascinating, but the job was discouraging. I knew I wanted a career that would have a positive impact on the things that matter most to me. Now, as a teacher, I am preparing a new generation of preservationists to be proactive stewards of the world's heritage. Teaching also satisfies my own passion for learning and gives me the opportunity to explore new ideas every day. I share these fresh approaches with my students who in turn teach me new ways to look at the world."

"Embarking with my students on a learning and exploration adventure is my main drive for teaching. I enjoy being a part of an environment where my formal education in architecture-related fields can find direct application in preparing students to be instrumental in preserving and designing the buildings and cities of tomorrow. I believe a solid academic base can only be laid through a continuous, focused exposure to the theory and philosophy of design, expected in high standard academic education. Formal education instills in students the knowledge and confidence to succeed in their future professions."

"After receiving my undergraduate degree in history, I wanted to find a more hands-on application of my passion for history. Historic preservation was the perfect focus. Working both in the public and private sector, I quickly realized that there is an absence of qualified professionals in the historic preservation field. In an effort to remedy that, I began teaching. I quickly discovered that working with students is invigorating, inspiring and motivating."

"With my interdisciplinary academic and professional experiences in architecture, history and preservation, my ultimate goal as an educator is to instill a passion of academic studies on those topics in my students as I share my own vision of historic preservation for learning with them. I believe that each student needs a stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature academically, intellectually and professionally, and it is my desire to help students meet their maximum level of potential by providing an interactive learning environment that invites a sharing of creative, professional, and futuristic preservation visions and perspectives on the contemporary built environments."

"As an archeologist, I sometimes found that my job was to excavate and document sites as a last resort before they were destroyed. The work was fascinating, but the job was discouraging. I knew I wanted a career that would have a positive impact on the things that matter most to me. Now, as a teacher, I am preparing a new generation of preservationists to be proactive stewards of the world's heritage. Teaching also satisfies my own passion for learning and gives me the opportunity to explore new ideas every day. I share these fresh approaches with my students who in turn teach me new ways to look at the world."

"Embarking with my students on a learning and exploration adventure is my main drive for teaching. I enjoy being a part of an environment where my formal education in architecture-related fields can find direct application in preparing students to be instrumental in preserving and designing the buildings and cities of tomorrow. I believe a solid academic base can only be laid through a continuous, focused exposure to the theory and philosophy of design, expected in high standard academic education. Formal education instills in students the knowledge and confidence to succeed in their future professions."
