My Professional Background
As the Associate Director of Data and Quality Management, I lead data management and quality assurance efforts to support organizational objectives. My current role involves developing protocols, overseeing daily operations, and promoting collaboration across functions to enhance data systems and information reliability. Additionally, I create professional development opportunities for my colleagues.
My past work experience as a Community-Based Participatory Researcher and Consultant demonstrates my commitment to community engagement. Here, I've focused on projects like a Food is Medicine Initiative, developing curricula, and leading student research teams to impact policy recommendations.
As an Assistant Professor, Graduate Program Coordinator, English Instructor, ESL Instructor, and Special Education Teacher, I taught, advised, and contributed to the academic community through teaching and research. While teaching, my students referred to me as "The Bougie Professor," which I still use.
