I completed my PhD in 2006 in Social Studies and Global Education at The Ohio State University. Between 2006 and 2009, I taught in the College of Education at Winona State University and successfully served on multiple department, College, University, community, and state-wide committees. During the 2009-10AY I taught Introduction to Chicano Studies and Introduction to Ethnic Studies at St. Cloud State University. Since relocating to Madison, I have assisted high school, undergraduate, and graduate students master content-specific material, develop successful study skills, and apply their background knowledge to relevant assignments.
I have over 15 years of experience working with and for culturally and linguistically diverse students and faculty across the socio-economic spectrum. My experiences teaching at the high school and university levels, mentoring and advising youth, and researching the academic challenges facing underrepresented populations highly qualify me for positions in education and business.
