I\u2019ve worked at Purdue since 2022, first with the College of Agriculture and now with the Daniels School of Business. I love the students I work with and the energy of a vibrant campus, and my passion comes from helping others become the best versions of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More about me:<\/strong> I have a son who keeps me busy, and I\u2019m always looking for somewhere new to travel. My favorite foods are barbecue and anything sweet.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crenel Francis Jr. Associate Director, Dr. Cornell A.
