Research Interest
In addition to my appointment as a lecturer of statistics and research methods, I work alongside the community to research, preserve, and present local African American history. I serve as a coordinator for rPAAST (Research to Preserve African American Stories and Traditions). Although rPAAST presents at some academic venues, we primarily look to work with and present to youth in our local schools. Together, we seek to bring positive, lasting change that honors the rich African American heritage of our community.
