CV

With formal degrees in education and a robust background in research, virtual and in-person course design, cultural preservation, and museum studies, I bring a wealth of experience as a dedicated educator, accomplished academic leader, researcher, and advocate for institutional advancement.

My educational journey includes obtaining degrees in education, complemented by significant experience in strategic planning, fostering faculty development, and promoting a culture of academic research. These qualifications uniquely position me to guide students in researching and preserving cultural heritage, with a specific passion for the role of primary sources in uncovering the truth about history, particularly in unveiling the Black intellectual tradition.

In my most recent role as the Director of High-Quality Curriculum and Instruction at the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy, I successfully led initiatives aimed at enhancing curriculum standards and instructional methodologies. My work involves preserving and disseminating cultural stories through multimedia, the Blacks in Classics Museum, lectures, storytelling, and various forms of presentation. This passion was further honed during my internship with the Accokeek Foundation, where I designed a museum theatre project focused on telling the story of enslaved people in colonial America.

With a solid background in Christian, private and public education, curriculum development, faculty mentorship, and strategic decision-making, I am confident in my ability to contribute to a university’s goals and aspirations.

My research background is rooted in racial equity, as evidenced by my active involvement in a UnidosUS-sponsored project researching how Latino American history is portrayed in schools across America. This experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the importance of diverse perspectives in education.

Having founded The Living Water School in 2015, I successfully led the institution to Middle States accreditation, showcasing my ability to drive educational initiatives to the highest standards. As a lecturer at Howard University in the classics and English departments, I have guided students to appreciate the relevance of the Humanities to all of us.

Furthermore, my participation in the Diversity Task Force at St. Johns College in Annapolis, MD, where I actively contributed to planning and facilitating efforts to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the college, underscores my dedication to fostering an inclusive academic environment.

In addition to my professional achievements, my research and contributions to classical and liberal arts learning in diverse communities highlight my commitment to advancing knowledge and scholarship.
