Professionally, I am an Assistant Professor in the Educational Leadership, Administration, and Foundations Department’s Higher Education Leadership Program at Indiana State University. I hold a master’s and Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from Indiana University, Bloomington and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Jackson State University, Jackson, Mississippi.My research interests are African American women in higher education, multicultural identity development, and institutional support of community based programs. My teaching areas include the history of higher education, Foundations of Education, academic leadership, Ethics, and college student development and diversity. I recently created a theoretical model on the professional development of African American women higher education administrators. The model is titled N.O.B.L.E.(Nexus of Black Leadership Efficacy). The model's name also honors Dr. Jeanne Noble, a scholar who conducted research and published literature on African American women in higher education. I have published book chapters in New Directions for Student Services Monograph entitled, “Using Entertainment Media in Student Affairs Teaching and Practice” and the New Directions for Student Services Monograph entitled, “Meeting the Needs of African American women in Higher Education.” My first co-edited book, entitled, "Unleashing Suppressed Voices: Diversity issues in Higher Education and Student Affairs," has been released by Peter Lang publishing.Additionally, I am the director of the New Hope Music Academy in Evansville, Indiana and a member of "Bloodline," a family gospel music group. I have had a measure of success writing grants specifically for the music academy which offers piano, percussion, dance, voice, and drama lessons to children in the center city at no cost to families.
