I am a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration with an extensive research, teaching, and publication history. I graduated from Duke University for my undergraduate degree before going on to Virginia Commonwealth University for my masters' degree and Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration. I have been a college professor for a full decade at multiple institutions, an academic advisor, a curriculum designer, an academic journal editor, and a two-time textbook author. My research focus is domestic violence, which is the topic of both of my textbooks. I frequently stage public awareness events for domestic violence, as well.

I love all areas of research, writing, and academia and enjoy helping young students in all these areas. I have voluminous experience in all aspects of academia, writing, editing, test preparation, and overall academic readiness. I believe in the power of positive and empowering tutoring and working collaboratively to help students grow in their scholarship and academic preparation. Please let me know any way I can help you along your journey!
