icon Faculty Bio

I have been faculty member at the Adrian Dominican School of Education at Barry University since 2011, teaching in various research courses across disciplines. I hold a PhD in Higher Education Administration from New York University, an MEd in International Education Policy from Harvard University, and a BA in International Studies from the University of Florida. My research and professional interests include the internationalization of higher education, community engagement and service learning, student success, and student activism. I am an active member and have presented at the annual conferences of the American Educational Research Association, and the Association for the Study of Higher Education, College Student Educators International (ACPA), Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA), and the Comparative and International Education Society.

The best way to be successful in this class is to explore your passions and apply the course concepts to these so that you can discover new insights into your research interests within your field of practice. Read everything you can that is relevant to your area of focus and build a database of research articles and resources. Create your personal mission statement for your career.

I believe that the most important qualities that you can have as an active learner in class is a willingness to engage with challenging problems and an enthusiasm for improvement in society and education through research. You can explore particular interests in your field of study or career area, and share these ideas and experiences in class discussions.
