Hi, I'm Dr. Celeste Tường Vy Sharpe! She/they pronouns. You’re welcome to address me with either Dr. or Prof. (each title is appropriate due to my education or role) and either my first or last name. Please never Miss/Ms/Mrs! If formal address feels uncomfortable for you, you can simply address me as Celeste.
I’m originally from central California, which has given me very strong opinions about fruits and vegetables. I grew up in a family where making food and feeding others was a major way we connected across differing ideas, ages, and experiences so I continue the tradition as best I can. I love to bake but I’m a better cook.
I love to read (sci-fi, fantasy, YA stuff mostly) and watch TV/movies. The best things I’ve read or watched lately have been Bob’s Burgers, Culinary Class Wars, Wake Up Dead Man, and Martha Wells’ Murderbot series. I love a nature walk but not a scramble. I’m scared of heights. And falling. And falling from heights.
Before becoming a professor at Normandale, I lived in Canada for 2 years while I earned my Masters degree. I learned all about cold and how to layer there, which is helping me live my best life in Minnesota winters. I earned my PhD in history from George Mason University and live in Minnesota thanks to getting a job at Carleton College in academic technology.
