Tiara Good

Tiara Good Adjunct Professor

Ford Hall

I am from the Pacific Northwest and love teaching! You can find me practicing shin rin yoku out in a forest on the weekends and love to explore. Or holed up in my kitchen baking or trying new recipes. If you see me on campus, you will likely see me with my service animal Etta. I am also a huge fan of '80s new wave and adore all things '90s as well (true '90s kid here). Spooky season is all year for me and I write about horror films/series on a regular basis in academic and popular publications.
