As a member of the NSPARC research team, I coordinate with several others at NSPARC to handle the translation of our world-class data analyses into real-world policy relevance and planning guidance.

My responsibilities include administering technical support to MSU students using Pearson's MySocLab products, managing the Bowen 256 computer lab, and teaching my own section of Introduction to Sociology.

My responsibilities include statistical analysis on various projects to inform the public on population processes, health insurance inequalities, behavioral health, impaired driving, safe sex practices, and underage drinking. Past projects have yielded; a web blog documenting a significant difference in wait time for patients to be seen by a physician based on type of health insurance; a manuscript under review documenting a negative relationship between migration and mortality among US counties; a white paper circulated to public safety officials on factors affecting enrollment in court-mandated alcohol safety education programs; a manuscript documenting contextual factors of condom usage among drug court participants, and; significant data collection and database construction effort to be used as the basis for studying the relationship between social networking sites and alcohol use among underage college students.

My responsibilities include assisting supervisors in grading and curriculum development, teaching a course a semester, and serving as liaison between the Department of Sociology and Pearson Education's MySocLab.com on both the instructors' side and the students' side. I have assisted in the development of curricula for introduction to social research and a research capstone class for undergraduate Sociology majors. I have also taught four courses of introduction to sociology. Additionally, I have been the program coordinator for the 2012 annual meeting of the Alabama-Mississippi Sociological Association, a position that required coordination of efforts by event services, paper and poster presenters, the Department of Sociology, and the more than 200 attendees of the meeting.
