Department: Public Policy and Administration

I welcome the opportunity to continue my service as a representative for the College of Business and Public Management on the Tenure and Promotion Committee. I am honored to serve in the area of evaluation, tenure and promotion. I have experience successfully working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and understand the variety of approaches in teaching, research and service in fulfillment of WCU’s teacher scholar model. I am committed to upholding our high standards and expectations at WCU in a fair, reasonable and supportive fashion.

I have extensive experience in undergraduate and graduate education, both in traditional as well as online courses. I currently serve as the Director for the Doctor of Public Administration program, and previously served as the Vice President for our local WCU APSCUF Chapter. I served on TeP from 2014-2016 and 2020-2022, and served as the former TeP appointee on the Promotion and Tenure Workshop Committee (PTW)from 2016-2020. I have served as an evaluation committee chair and member for over four different departments at WCU, and was elected and served on the Executive Committees for Women’s and Gender Studies, and Youth Empowerment and Urban Studies.

Thank you for your consideration and support.
