I am higher education practitioner and scholar with a deep passion for the liberating power of education. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Higher Education Administration from the School of Education & Urban Studies at Morgan State University. I bring extensive experience as a manager, project manager, and consultant to the work of education having served in various leadership capacities within higher education. As a practitioner my goal is to help student affairs staff develop into competent professionals through effective supervision and mentorship. As an educator I feel a deep sense of calling to help students navigate the barriers that often stop them from actualizing the liberating power of education. Too often we make learning scary. It does not have to be.
