I am a professor, museum director, and award-winning specialist in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education. I am an experienced course instructor in anthropology, history, and museum studies, having taught upwards of 3,000 students over the last 16 years. I have built, coordinated, and directed a number of student programs, and am a trained expert in student success analytics. My grant writing efforts have been very successful, yielding over half a million dollars in funds in support of academic research, museum exhibitions and collections management, student success, and community outreach projects. I have parlayed my Latinx and Indigenous studies training into well received university compliance work, including NAGPRA/CalNAGPRA coordination, tribal consultation in CA, NM, and FL, and DEI work in university hiring. My project management experience is extensive and includes very large academic and commercial archaeological field projects and office-based federal and state compliance work on tight deadlines. I am a certified software developer and database administrator as well (25 years), coding for various industries from commercial to academic.
