My office hours vary from week to week, given that I have a busy schedule. But you can sign up for a 1-on-1 Virtual Office Hours appointment via my Calendly Scheduler below. 

Generally, my appointments are between 11am and 5pm. I'm on campus during fall and spring semesters, Tuesday through Thursday, but I'm available through Zoom throughout the work week. In the summer, I'm available Monday through Thursday, but only via Zoom. 

Regardless of how we're meeting, please set up the appointment through the scheduler below. If there is no appointment available that fits with your schedule, please email me with some days and times that do work, and I'll see what I can do.
