I am a native of Washington, D.C. and a first-generation high-school, college, Master's, and PhD graduate. I earned my B.Sc. in Biology from Norfolk State University (A HBCU), my M.Sc. in Biology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (a PWI), and my PhD in Evolutionary Biology from Howard University (a HBCU). I started my first teaching at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology. Next, I taught Biodiversity at the University of New Orleans. Subsequently, I was hired as an International Visiting Professor of Biology for Auburn University at Montgomery, working during the summer (summers 2014-2017) in Changsha, Hunan Province, China; teaching Ecology, Environmental Science, and Micro-Biology at the Central South University of Forestry and Technology (CSUFT). I was then hired to teach statistics courses for CSUFT (summer 2017) separately. Later, I served as a Lecturer at Howard University in the summer (Statistics) in 2018, 2019, and 2021. I am now an Assistant Global Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Arizona; teaching Statistics, Environmental Science, and Micro-Biology.
