What inspired you to teach?
My passion for social work has inspired me to educate students on community-based social work in the rural Mississippi Delta.
What do you love about teaching at MVSU?
I love teaching at MVSU because I have been granted the opportunity to give back to the very Institution that put me on my educational/professional journey.
Beyond your subject-area or discipline, what do you hope students gain from being in your classroom?
I hope students gain a desire to be of service to others beyond the classroom.
Tell us a fun or interesting fact about yourself!
I love FOOTBALL...I am a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles Fan.
