        Profile

        My education background is in human resource development, business, public administration, and law. I have created innovating programs to effectively increase access and success of students into postsecondary programs and have conducted research on the intersection of labor, educational programs, and social economic mobility. I currently teach human resource development and business and marketing education courses to undergraduate students. In my courses, I contribute to the social, academic, and emotional development of students by facilitating critical thinking and promoting a high level of achievement.
