Administrative and Academic Service:

At Parsons specifically, I have written or co-written six of the core courses in the BFA Fine Art program. I act as a faculty coordinator through which I introduce new faculty to the course curriculum and serve as a liaison to the department chair by fielding questions and providing support to faculty members as well as teaching assistants. Parsons recently completed an assessment of each of the core courses in which I served as a point-person in order to write and submit reports to the administration that I developed through the organization and collection of student work examples and by interviewing faculty.
