Work:

“I have worked primarily in non-profit organizations … I also have experience with community education and training, grant writing, fundraising and community organizing. In terms of research, I have worked on a number of projects focusing on housing for low-income families, health and well-being programs in African American churches, capacity building in organizations and social capital in faith-based organizations… I also chose OU because the Sociology and Anthropology department is full of absolutely amazing faculty.”

Personal:

“I was born in Michigan and grew up in Walled Lake. I have lived in Michigan my whole life except for the year I lived in St. Louis, Mo. while teaching … when I am not teaching, I enjoy yoga, biking, playing music (drums), attending music concerts, and travel.”
