Bio

As a Ph.D. student at Jackson State University's College of Health Science School of Social Work, I possess a well-rounded academic background. I obtained my Master's Degree in Social Work in 2015 and my Bachelor of Science in Sociology in 2010. My diverse educational experience helped me to develop excellent written and verbal communication skills. I am skilled in multitasking, productivity, and collaborating in team environments. I conduct research for academic assignments using effective research strategies to find credible sources and analyze documents and data in the social science field. I have presented study findings and data at national conferences. My previous roles as a teacher, case manager, program manager, business development specialist, political director, and entrepreneur enabled me to sharpen my organizational skills, study more effectively, focus on several assignments, and process information quickly and efficiently. I am committed to meeting deadlines and promoting academic and professional performance improvements. I am proficient in goal planning and promoting self-discipline. My achievements have enabled me to teach now and mentor scholars worldwide. I enjoy focusing on strengths and turning challenges into rewarding experiences. I like to host lectures and attend seminars on educational growth and development. My hobbies include reading, writing, yoga, meditation, pilates, and healthy living. I am passionate about helping and uplifting others, paying it forward, and giving back. I started a kindness campaign where I committed to a lifetime of sharing random acts of kindness to inspire people and make the world happier.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Exploring the History of Social Science and Generational Themes that impacted American History

The study of social science can be traced back to ancient Greece. In this research project, we aim to explore the roots of human nature, examining the impact of mortality and societal conditions on shaping our culture. By utilizing subjects like Sociology, we can objectively measure and analyze the various factors that influence our society today. We will analyze imperial research and quantify our results.

Teaching experience

I teach in communities and districts, structured settings like developmental training centers, group homes, and public schools in Illinois. As an educator, I facilitate lesson plans for children, K-12, and adults with developmental and learning disabilities. I have led classes as significant as 50 scholars. I implement a variety of academic schedules, including morning announcements, icebreakers, mathematics, literature, writing, history, dance and drama, and music activities. Through Mindfulness exercises and implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) techniques, I help improve learning development (L&D), focus, and performance. I am an expert at creating a curriculum that leads to calm, structured learning environments. I have volunteered as a mentor to secondary and High school students in youth programs around the Chicago Metropolitan Area.
