My interest in sociology was sparked when I started working with various nonprofit organizations in a metropolitan area. Through this work, I became increasingly curious about the interrelationships among individuals, groups, communities and society.

I especially enjoy teaching Introduction to Sociology. It is incredibly rewarding to be part of the process where students really become inquisitive about society and start asking important questions. The community college setting allows me to draw upon so many different lived experiences.

For all of the students I work with, it is an incredible honor to be involved in their lives as they move on their path toward knowledge and self-discovery.
