I entered the field of social work with a strong interest in administration, community practice, and research. I have worked on various grants, community research projects, and served as a consultant for high schools with organizations for students who are sexual minorities. My administrative career in the School of Social Work began in 1997; and teaching career in 2000. I now have the best of both worlds with a blend of teaching and administration.
