Biography
I've had over 25 years of faculty experience at Wet Chester University of Pennsylvania. I'm currently a Professor in the Department of Health at West Chester University, the Coordinator of Academic Support Services and most recently the Coordinator of COMPASS, an academic support and retention program that addresses the achievement gap for African American Male Students at West Chester University.
As a 1st generation college graduate, I strongly believe in the power of teaching and learning. I am extremely passionate about working with college age students and I'm driven by a desire to help students become college graduates.In addition to having a passion for teaching, I also believe in volunteering and serving my community. Some of my past work with community agencies include Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Chester County Maternal and Child Health Consortium, Planned Parenthood, and the American Cancer Society. In my most recent role, I have become involved with NCAA initiatives on leadership and was recently selected to serve on the NACADA NCAA Advisory Board. Joining the Kent State Alumni Board of Directors as well for a 3-year term has been one of my biggest accomplishments to date.
My main focus in my work today is on the retention and graduation efforts of underrepresented students. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending sporting events, reading, yoga and Zumba.
