Location: Hoboken, New Jersey
Occupation: Professor of Philosophy, Wagner College(starting Fall 2003)
Graduate Education: MA (1998) and Ph.D.(2002) in Philosophy, both from Villanova University.
After graduating from Skidmore with a double major in Philosophy and Spanish, I pursued graduate studies in Philosophy. My graduate program required me to take two language exams--one in French and one in German. Although my graduate exams were not in Spanish, the techniques for learning a language that I acquired at Skidmore prepared me to learn a second and third foreign language. In addition to helping me with my graduate studies, speaking Spanish has enriched my life experiences both abroad and at home. I have used my language skills in situations as diverse as traveling in central America to conversing with Spanish speaking friends in my apartment building.
