I've spent 15 years working within the field of higher education. During that time I have worked within spaces that include: academic advising, university advancement, alumni affairs, student leadership, first-year programs & orientation, and residential life. I am currently finishing my doctoral program at the University of Massachusetts (Boston) higher education program. My research seeks to examine the connections between #HipHopEd, cultural/racial identity of faculty, and pedagogical approach.
