Why I Love Working at Hampshire: There are many great aspects of working at Hampshire, but for me, the best part is the setting itself. It is as abundant with beautiful nature as it is with memories of my time here as a student. Hampshire has, in many ways, been my home for years, and it is a truly great place to show up to everyday.
Fun Fact about Me: I currently play lead guitar in a local DIY alt rock band. Playing music has always been one of my favorite things to do, and I truly enjoy performing more than anything else in the world.
If you could teach a class, what would it be called: A World Without Words: Creating Story and Setting through Sequential Art. A course focusing on how we can convey a sense of world and narrative in comics without text.
