The belief that innovation and knowledge work takes place in densely networked and diverse communities has motivated my service work. I am committed to serve the communications field and community that I'm part of. In a large organization like NCSU, cultivating strong inter-departmental relations by pursuing interdisciplinary work has allowed me to not only support the work of students and faculty, but also to facilitate exchange of knowledge and resources among them. This service to my University and people associated with it has helped me better understand my responsibilities as part of a global community.
