I hold a PhD in Educational Leadership, Research, and Policy and I also earned my Master of Arts in Sociology along with a graduate certificate in Teaching Sociology, both from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). I hold a Bachelor of Science in Social Theory, Social Structure, and Change from Empire State College, NY, and an Associate of Arts in Social Science from Jefferson Community College, NY.
Since 2015, I have had the privilege of teaching at Pikes Peak State College (PPSC), and since 2014, I have also taught at UCCS. In addition, I am the Concurrent Enrollment Coordinator for Harrison School District 2 in Colorado Springs. I have taught in numerous school districts as a Concurrent Enrollment instructor and in community colleges across the Front Range area.
I enjoy bringing fresh perspectives to traditional subjects and engaging students in unique and thought-provoking ways.
