Biography: I have been a social work educator for over 15 years. Before joining the faculty of MGA in 2018 and assuming the role of BSW Program Director, I was a faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP) for nearly five years and served as BSW Program Director. Before joining UNCP, I was a faculty member of the UCF School of Social Work, and before that taught in the BSW program at Western Illinois University.

Before discovering a passion for teaching, I worked in many areas of social work practice, including domestic violence and sexual assault advocacy, case management, and counseling with dementia patients and families, as a community-based therapist, medical social work, and hospice. My greatest interests in social work practice and research include policy and social barriers experienced by parenting students; and social work education pedagogy.
