Since joining the Olin College faculty she has also dived into the field of engineering education with an emphasis on integration of arts, humanities, and STEM. Her love of learning was first fostered by an unusual elementary school education that was deeply inter- disciplinary with a substantial arts curriculum.

She then returned to school to study engineering, earning a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rutgers Uni- versity in 2011. While completing her degree at Rutgers, she wrote
