Academic Background:
- Ph.D. in Kinesiology (Sport Sociology): My doctoral research[1] at the University of Minnesota focused on identifying and dismantling individual and institutionalized homophobia in intercollegiate athletics. This work equipped me with a strong foundation for critically analyzing social dynamics within sports, particularly those related to equity and inclusion. It also sparked my ongoing commitment to social justice in education.
- Master of Science in Education (Sport Administration): During my Master's program at the University of Miami, I explored the concept of perceived organizational support among Division III athletic directors. My thesis, titled "Perceived Organizational Support of Division III Athletic Directors"[2], investigated how these leaders view the support they receive from their institutions. This research experience instilled a strong interest in leadership dynamics within athletic departments.
- Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication: My undergraduate education Washington and Lee University[3], with its accredited journalism program, equipped me with strong research, communication, and storytelling abilities.
Professional Expertise:
- I have 20 years of experience in higher education and nonprofit administration, currently serving as Vice President of Advancement and Communications at Saint Paul College.
