TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

"As a life-long learner, it is my pleasure to lead and engage my students through positive organizational scholarship. It is through this positive leadership style and diversity of thought that I’d like to break down the subject matter that may be challenging to digest but will allow my students to participate in complex ways of critical thinking and problem-solving."

 

RESEARCH GOALS

“My long-term research goal focus on the ongoing research regarding access to justice, more specifically, the potential impact of the paralegal profession and academic paralegal programs on the access to justice within underserved communities. The goal of my research is to discover the ways in which practical experiences and academic orientations arrive at substantive conclusions to bridge the justice gap."
