Hi.
I'm Jodi. I'm an Instructional Assistant Professor. I've been at ISU since 1999.
I'm married, and my husband is the greatest guy ever.
We travel quite a bit, and spend a few weeks a year in South Carolina working a second gig we have going on there. When we can, we also spend time snorkeling off the coasts of distant lands, fascinated and humbled by the world that exists underwater: it's so cool!
My hobbies include fish keeping (I'm an amateur aquarist - we have multiple aquariums), cooking, and baking. I'm fairly handy with a piping bag and frosting. I have a crazy aesthetic going on at home and I like hanging around the house because it has a super eclectic, chill vibe (e.g. a 6' metal rooster in my yard or basement, depending on the season; a 3' bespectacled, distinguished gold rabbit bust in my bedroom...).
Ultimately, my pets are my life. Outside of my husband, I can't imagine loving anything more. They really are my kids.
