What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovative teaching and community engagement.

I am an experienced educator with a passion for teaching philosophy and religious studies across various institutions. Currently, I serve as an Administrative Specialist II at the University of Tennessee at Martin, where I provide essential support for distance learning and coordinate student activities. My role has allowed me to develop strong organizational and communication skills, which I apply in my teaching and administrative duties.

In addition to my administrative role, I have taught at multiple colleges, including the University of Memphis and the College of Western Idaho, where I focus on engaging students through innovative instructional methods. My commitment to education is reflected in my ongoing pursuit of a Ph.D. in Education, which I believe will further enhance my ability to contribute to the academic community.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in various committees and community initiatives, demonstrating my dedication to both my students and the broader community. I am particularly proud of my work in grant writing and special projects, which has allowed me to support educational initiatives and foster a love for learning among students.
