About
I am a doctoral candidate (ABD) seeking opportunities to teach online college-level Psychology and Management courses. Presently, I am working on my dissertation, having completed all other doctoral degree requirements. My dissertation research explores the role of athletic academic advising in promoting the comprehensive development of student-athletes, using meta-analytical methods. Relatedly, my approach to working with students is holistic and student-centered, empowering students to achieve mental, physical, academic, and career wellness and success and connecting students to resources that will facilitate their growth. I have over a decade of experience in higher education, working in various administrative and student-facing roles. My goal is to apply this knowledge and experience to provide effective, high-quality academic instruction and support.
