 **Memorable Moment**

 One of my most memorable moments at the school was praying in the meditation room at the Center for the Study of World Religions a few months prior to being accepted into the ThD program, not knowing if I would come back but grateful for my visit then.

 **Message of Thanks**

 I am fortunate to have learned from so many while at Harvard. I would like to thank in particular those who were on my dissertation committee, namely Drs. Kimberley C. Patton, James W. Morris, Charles M. Stang, and Nicholas J. Boylston, as well as my roommates Drs. Nariman Aavani and Muhammad U. Faruque from whom I learned no less than I did in formal classes.

 **Future Plans**

 I have joined the United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, where I am now the Johnson-Fry Assistant Professor of World Religions and Intercultural Studies, as well as a director of an academic program on religion and nature. I hope to continue learning, writing, and teaching.
