 I was a very shy kid, like many engineers, I'm very much introverted. And so when I started teaching, walking into the classroom was terrifying. And then I would just tell myself, these students are all here to be learning something. So I'm going to have to hide that fear and just display something else. It was only one day I realized as I was in class that I was no longer terrified. I was just happy to put on kind of my teaching persona and just go for it. The thing I enjoy most about being an instructor is the time that I spend with the students. The actual person-to-person interaction, just that human connection is the thing that I get the most out of. So what I'm really hoping to teach each time is an ability to look at a problem and figure out what you need to do to be able to solve that problem. I want sort of that level two learning which is here's this problem and I have no idea right now where to get started on it, but I know how I can go and find information to help me figure out how to get started on it. That's really what I'm hoping I get from it more so than just the specific knowledge in a specific course. Winning the Murphy Award has been really one of the highlights of my career. I never really imagined that I would win an award like this. Knowing the recognition from my students means an enormous amount to me because that ultimately is why I do this. I'm very proud of Purdue. We provide that access to a great education to a large amount of students and I think that's a very special mission that we have as a state school, combining that excellence in education with this broad accessibility.
