Are you looking for someone passionate about student success and development? Need someone to help increase student retention rates by removing barriers in higher education? Do you need someone skilled in research to help find ways to support students through policies? Let’s talk!
Here are job titles I would love to have:
✅ Student Success Coordinator or Specialist in Student Life, Student Development, or Student Affairs.
✅ Assistant Professor in Sociology
✅ Research Project Coordinator or Analyst
✅Community Outreach Coordinator
✅ Diversity & Inclusion Specialist
✅ Project Manager
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 provide mentoring to student parents and have founded a support group for graduate student mothers that consists of over 300 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 and teacher, I've delivered over 100 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 workshops, dialogues, presentations, trainings, and activities.
