My Background
I have taken a unique path to my position in higher education by first attending law school to earn my Juris Doctor and then pursuing a graduate degree in Philosophy. However, the common denominator of my educational pursuits has been my interest in serving underrepresented and underserved populations, as well as my passion for education, social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
