About Me

I have been in education for 27 years: 20 in secondary and 7 in post-secondary education. My educational pursuits include a Bachelor’s Degree in chemistry with a minor in mathematics at Alabama A&M University, Master’s Degree in chemistry education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Master’s Degree in Instructional Leadership, and a Doctorate in Education Leadership, Policy, and Law at Alabama State University.

While working as an Assistant Principal, I assisted in planning and implementing professional development, monitored student attendance, maintained discipline throughout the student body, and evaluated teachers and departments as assigned by the principal.

 

As an Assistant Professor of Curriculum & Instruction at Alabama State University, I was an academic advisor for more than 145 teacher candidates in secondary education.  I monitored student progress through the university advisement system, Google voice, and email for virtual office hours.  I assist the graduate department with thesis and doctoral editing and formatting.  I serve on Departmental NCATE, Quality Enhancement Plan, Field and Clinical Experiences, and College-wide Technology Implementation Committees. While in higher education, I incorporated Smartboard, Blackboard Collaborate, and LiveText e-Portfolio, as well as web 2.0 tools (i.e., Voicethread, Eyejot, Blogger, Edmodo, Prezi, Google docs).
