"Being enrolled in the Ph.D. program in higher education has challenged my thinking. This experience has given me the opportunity to be engaged in research and think deeply about issues affecting community colleges and community college students. "

I have received my bachelor's degree in English from Bryan College (Dayton, TN) and my Master's Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language from Iowa State. I am currently in my third year in the Higher Education Ph.D. program.

 

Professional Interests:

I am interested in working with an ABE/ESL program or international program in a community college.

 

Research interests:

I am also interested in studying international education and immigrant education in community colleges.
