Welcome to the Heavener School of Business! I am excited to get to work alongside you on your collegiate journey.
As a first generation in college student, I graduated from the University of North Florida with my bachelor’s in special education with a concentration in Deaf studies. I continued at UNF to obtain my master’s in special education with a concentration in disability services. Currently, I am completing my research for my dissertation to obtain my Doctor of Education in Special Education in 2022. My research focuses on disabled veterans’ experiences in higher education.
I am passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion of underrepresented populations in higher education. Therefore, over the years, I have supported college students in various capacities such as workforce advising for technical certificates, disability services for accommodations and assistive technology, and teaching for (un)Common Reads. I started at the University of Florida in the Disability Resource Center in June of 2018 as a learning specialist to discuss barriers Gators may experience in their academics to determine reasonable accommodations while collaborating with faculty to facilitate accommodations and implement Universal Design principles.
I am eager to utilize my educational and professional experience to support your journey within Heavener School of Business. Heavener School of Business has a plethora of resources available to you and I am excited to get you connected to the path that best supports your personal and professional goals.
Go Gators!
