Curriculum Vita
About Me
Currently I serve in the role of Academic Professional Track Assistant Professor.
Luckily, I have taught energizing general education courses such as Human Sexuality and the Health of Lower Income Groups opened to all majors; and professional program courses to students majoring in community health education.
My primary role in the department is to direct the internship placement of undergraduate community health education majors throughout the 100 counties in North Carolina, many states along the Eastern Seaboard, and abroad. Our majors complete a 400 hour intensive internship that allows them to work in a variety of settings (community clinics to international health programs) working hand in hand with a variety of people and cultures (Native American children to Bahamian senior women).
My research focus includes cultural competent practice and reduction of health disparities among minority groups.
Education
University of North Carolina at Greensboro Masters of Public Health (MPH) in Community Health Education. 1998 University of Maryland at College Park Bachelors of Science in Community Health Education. 1992
Professional Interests
Most of my professional health education career has been dedicated to partnering with the community to address maternal and child health issues, such as parenting, early childhood development, and the prevention of teen pregnancy and infant mortality, especially within under-resourced communities. My work has primarily focused on coordinating heath education services within federal, state and county public health agencies as well as community-based programs within hospital, churches and schools in Maryland, Washington D.C., and North Carolina.
Personal Interests
As the wife of a Sous Chef and mother of a talkative 7 year old and potty-training 2 year old, she has never been known to be at a lost for words or interesting yucky stories to share!
