About

I am a full time faculty member in the IUPUI School of Social Work. I have more than twenty years of experience in the social work field, and enjoy it immensely. In addition to my position at IUPUI, I provide diversity trainings to agencies across the country several times per year. My experiences (both personal and professional) have made me an effective presenter, as well as classroom instructor. When I am not working, I love spending time with my son, traveling, and losing myself in a good book.
