About

I have been with the Indiana University School of Social Work since 2007 as a full-time lecturer and prior to that had worked as an adjunct for 12 years. My professional experience includes working with child welfare, juvenile justice policy and programming, mental health research, school social work, and both clinical and community practice. Because of the lecturer role, I originally taught courses across the spectrum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. That opportunity was a gift as I identified early on the enormous value of integrating practice, theory, research, and policy consistently in the academic arena. In recent years, I have continued to teach in the graduate program, focusing on policy, community and global practice, and issues of diversity, human rights, and social justice. Throughout my time at IUSSW I have had the good fortune to work with outstanding colleagues and have benefited greatly from research and experiences that highlight international efforts. Working with the IUPUI Student Outreach Clinic is an area of service that I have enjoyed over the past few years. Regarding my personal life, I am married, have four adult children and seven grandchildren.
