Curriculum Vitae

​​​My research interests are in the area of adolescents, particularly focusing on at-risk youth and school related experiences. My teaching interests include juvenile justice, crime and delinquency, criminological theory, and criminal justice policies. I think it is important to understand the connectivity between criminological theory and criminal justice policies and how the both affect each other.

Prior to this current academic position, I have worked as a certified special education instructor, and was most recently employed at an alternative charter school. My interests in helping at-risk youth was solidified during my time in this career.  While completing my doctoral degree, I was able to participate as a research assistant for a federally funded mentoring project designed to match up high school students with local college students.
