About me:

As an African American female and first-generation college student, the values of equality, multiculturalism, and life-long learning are at the core of my personal and professional identity. I have two children, work hard at social advocacy, and believe every child should understand his or her ethnic culture and heritage.

Teaching philosophy:

Through the use of experiential activities, media, technology, music, art, class discussion, group activities, and lecture, I try to create a stimulating classroom atmosphere that is widely engaging to an ever-evolving culture of students.
