I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside. Apart from teaching and research responsibilities, I also direct the Sociology Online Degree Completion Program and the International Studies Program. I teach courses in income, education, and health inequality along with courses in Statistics and Research Methods. My research interests lie in the area of educational access and success of students in higher education. Specifically, my research presentations and publications include online teaching efficacy, online teaching pedagogy, the digital divide, and experiential learning pedagogy. I am particularly interested in investigating barriers that deter underserved and underrepresented students from achieving their higher education potential and the areas of improvement necessary to enhance their educational outcomes.
