Research Interests
-
My reserach is currently focused on the evaluation of programming that serves self-supporting students, as well as students recieving public benefits, toward degree completion. Within this research, there is also a focus on the implementation of trauma-informed teaching and learning and diversity, equity, and inclusion perspectives to supplement the tanglibe resources provided to students.
Teaching Interests
-
My teaching interests include classes that focus on social justice and power, oppression and privilege. I enjoy the dialogue and learning process in these particular classes. In addition, most of my professional roles as a social worker have been focused on research and program evaluation, which I like to teach due to the multiple different projects I see implemented. It is exciting to watch a student find thier way through a topic that is difficult and often anxiety producing.
