My scholarly interests are rooted in student-centered models and research that empower students to advance their writing dexterity and interaction in the classroom as comfortable and confident users of the English language. Dedicated to working in a diverse educational setting, my primary objective in academia is to teach students in an urban community college environment where students of all reading and writing skills converge. Thus, the entirety of my research interests connect and intersect in the classrooms of both the composition and literature courses I teach allowing students the supreme opportunity to evolve as engaged masters of language.
