About Me

I am a native of Washington, DC (a Washingtonian) who received my BSW from LaSalle University and MSW from Temple University. While in school, my internships led me to medical social work. I have worked as a unit social worker and as director of social services at skilled nursing facilities in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. My areas of expertise are working with older adults and medical social work. I also hold my LSW.

After serving as a field instructor for numerous students, I was approached by LaSalle University to be an adjunct professor within its BSW program. I have been teaching since 2010. In 2012, I began pursuing my PhD in social work here at Widener University. I am amazed at the experience I have had as a Widener University student and blessed to be serving as an assistant professor for the Center for Social Work Education.
