Here is a little more about me and the value I can bring to you:

I am a PhD candidate in Sociology at Texas Woman's University in Denton, TX. Currently the project manager for a qualitative research project titled "Giving Birth in the Ivory Tower," focusing on the lives of graduate students who experienced pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering while in graduate school. I am particularly interested in the ways that formal policies (or more often, a lack thereof) at the department and university level helped or hindered their success.

I’m a dynamic and driven professional with a research background in medical sociology, health disparities, intimate partner violence, and sociology of motherhood & the family.

I am passionate about student success and removing barriers in higher education to increase student retention by finding ways we can better support students through policies.

I provide mentoring to student parents and have founded a support group for graduate student mothers that consists of over 280 members from all over the world. My keep-it-real stories of triumphs, failures, and funny kid stories has resulted in nearly daily messages from other academic moms thanking me for inspiring them and letting them know they are not alone.

I’m skilled in people management, problem solving, and conflict resolution evidenced by the fact that all 5 of my children are still alive and have not yet challenged one another to cage fights.

An engaging and award winning communicator, I've delivered over 20 presentations to a variety of audiences and I enjoy the opportunity to effectively convey complex concepts to the layperson.

A sociologist with vigorous training in diversity and inclusion, I have direct classroom experience leading diverse groups of people in difficult discussions about race, ethnicity, LGBTQ issues, disability and other diversity issues.

I am highly qualified to develop and lead diversity workshops, dialogues, presentations, trainings, and activities.
