Welcome to the SWEet Women in Academia (WIA) Wisdom column!

Faculty spotlights are a new feature for our SWEet column.  Going forward we will be alternating between the Q&A with faculty and spotlights. The goal of these spotlights is to share the breadth of the careers in academia.

The faculty spotlights will each feature a different faculty member and a bit about their current role and background.  The spotlight will also include a spider diagram that illustrates generally how each person splits their time between teaching, research, service, administration, outreach, and advising. ​
