As a higher education professional and researcher, I'm passionate about and devoted to improving educational outcomes for students and promoting equitable access to high-quality education. With a background in journalism, co-curricular development and implementation, and data analysis, I have experience in program creation, conducting research, and analyzing data to inform educational policy and practice.

My work focuses on helping institutions and organizations ensure the success of diverse students with complex lives, such as evaluating college promise programs and developing program frameworks to support adult learners. I'm dedicated to understanding the complex challenges facing students and institutions today; and to equitable student success through evidence-based strategies and solutions that can inform educational policies and practices and improve educational outcomes for all learners.

My research interests span a range of topics, including the experiences of Black women in Higher Education, minority student campus belonging and engagement, and policies that create barriers to student success. Through my work, I aim to develop innovative, effective, and equitable educational practices to help all students reach their full potential and lead to institutional transformation.

I bring a collaborative, creative, and strategic approach to my work, drawing on insights from journalism, education, and other relevant fields to understand the complex factors that influence educational outcomes. I am committed to advancing the field of higher education and positively impacting students' lives.
