Incoming Howard Professor Seeking DC Home for Fall Transition

Description

Hello! I’m relocating to Washington, DC to begin my new role as an Associate Professor at Howard University after earning tenure and spending several years on the faculty at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. As I make this transition, I’m looking for a place to call home while I become familiar with the city and determine where I’d like to live long term. Because I’m taking the time to find the right neighborhood and the right fit, I’m intentionally open to furnished, partially furnished, and unfurnished homes, as well as house sits, home shares, and traditional rentals. My work is centered around teaching, research, writing, and mentoring students. My schedule is predictable, and when I’m not on campus, I’m usually preparing lectures, grading, writing, or working on research projects from home. I value peaceful surroundings and will treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ve been a homeowner for many years, so I understand both the practical responsibilities and the pride that come with caring for a home. I’m dependable, respectful, and communicative, and I appreciate the trust involved in welcoming someone into your space. Outside of work, I enjoy museums, exploring neighborhoods, reading, trying local restaurants, attending cultural events, and spending time with friends. I already have a wonderful network of friends and colleagues in the DC area, so this move is both a professional opportunity and a chance to reconnect with a community I’ve come to know over the years. My son is away at college as a student-athlete and may occasionally visit during academic breaks or as his game schedule allows, but I will be the primary occupant. Reliable internet and a comfortable workspace are important, and I’m flexible on lease length and move dates as I make this transition. I’m happy to provide professional, personal, and homeowner references upon request. If you think your home might be a good fit, I’d love to connect. Thank you for considering my listing!
